AttributeError: 'Player' object has no attribute 'run_dust_animation'

Question

So the problem I'm encountering is that I get an error saying that Player has no attribute run_dust_particles when I just set the function there.

Code for run_dust_particles:

def run_dust_animation(self):
        if self.status == 'run' and self.on_ground:
            self.dust_frame_index += self.dust_animation_speed
            if self.dust_frame_index >= len(self.dust_run_particles):
                self.dust_frame_index = 0

            dust_particle = self.dust_run_particles[int(self.dust_frame_index)]

            if self.facing_right:
                pos = self.rect.bottomleft
                self.display_surface.blit(dust_particle, pos)

Code where I'm calling it:

def update(self):
    self.get_input()
    self.get_status()
    self.animate()
    self.run_dust_animation()

Update() call I am doing:

self.player.update()

Full error message starting at traceback:

Can you show an example of a `update()` call that you are doing? — ihavenoidea, Mar 02 '22 at 02:27
Are you sure that this method is actually part of the `Player` class? If it's indented exactly as shown here, then it's a top-level function, not a method at all. Another possibility is that it's somehow getting called before the definition has been reached - we can't tell, because you haven't shown us a [mcve], nor have you shown us the full traceback message. — jasonharper, Mar 02 '22 at 05:12
yes, it's part of the player class. Full traceback message should now be edited in — Daniel, Mar 02 '22 at 05:43
Is the indentation of `def run_dust_animation(self):` correct? — Rabbid76, Mar 02 '22 at 14:56
