Answer 1

Play the animation and yield:

    if life == 0:
        $Spritezada.play("Dead");
        yield($Spritezada, "animation_finished");
        print("died");
        queue_free();

The above code will play the animation, then halt the execution. When the animation player raises the signal animation_finished it will resume, print "died" and set the current node for removal (queue_free).

By the way, the animation_finished signal passes a text parameter. If you do not want to use yield as suggested above, write your code like so:

func _on_Spritezada_animation_finished(anim_name: String):
    if anim_name == "Dead":
        queue_free();

I believe Godot should be telling you about that missing parameter. If you don't see a message about that, double check you connected the correct signal.
