Properties

animation

animation: Animation

The animation played by this player

loop

loop: number

The number of times the animation will repeat. Set to LoopIndefinitely to repeat indefinitely. Default is 0

nodeIdOffset

nodeIdOffset: NodeIdOffset

A base offset value which will be applied to all node identifiers in the animation attached to this player. This is useful to play an authored animation for a model that has been loaded into the scene after initial startup. In this situation the authored node identifiers in the animation may not match up with the runtime node identifiers in the current scene. The Model.getNodeIdOffset function can be used on the loaded model's root node to retrieve the correct offset value.

onComplete

onComplete: function | null

Callback function to be called when the animation is complete. Will not be triggered if the player is looping.

speed

speed: number

Scale value to be applied to animation time.

Static LoopIndefinitely

LoopIndefinitely: -1

If loop is set to LoopIndefinitely, the animation will play repeatedly.

Methods

evaluate

  • Calculate the values for each channel of the associated Animation at the given time.

    Parameters

    • time: number

      The time at which to evaluate the animation.

    • Optional out: BatchedValues

      Storage for the evaluated values. If supplied, this object will be returned instead of a new BatchedValues object. This allows values gathered from multiple players to be combined into one batch.

    Returns BatchedValues

getAnimationTime

  • getAnimationTime(): number

  • Gets the current time in seconds of the entire animation.

    Returns number

getCurrentTime

  • getCurrentTime(): number

  • Gets the current time in seconds that the animation has been playing.

    Returns number

getState

  • Gets the current animation state.

    Returns PlayerState

pause

  • pause(): void

  • Pauses animation playback.

    Returns void

play

  • play(): void

  • Starts playing the animation.

    Returns void

reload

  • reload(): void

  • Updates internal state of animation player.

    Call this method after any part of the underlying animation has been updated.

    Returns void

setChannelEnabled

  • Sets the enabled state for a channel in this players animation. All channels are enabled by default when a player is created. A channel that has been disabled will not have its value interpolated by the system until it is re-enabled

    Parameters

    • channel: NodeChannel | CameraChannel

      a channel from the underlying animation

    • enabled: boolean

      boolean value indicating whether the channel should be enabled.

    Returns void

setTime

  • setTime(time: number): void

  • Sets the current animation time.

    Parameters

    • time: number

      time in milliseconds

    Returns void

stop

  • stop(): void

  • Stops animation playback and resets the current time to 0.

    Returns void
