Methods
addLayer()
addLayer(
name: string,
weight?: number,
mask?: any[],
blendType?: string): AnimComponentLayer
Adds a new anim component layer to the anim component.
Parameters
name
string
The name of the layer to create.
weight?
number
The blending weight of the layer. Defaults to 1.
mask?
any
[]
A list of paths to bones in the model which should be animated in this layer. If omitted the full model is used. Defaults to null.
blendType?
string
Defines how properties animated by this layer blend with animations of those properties in previous layers. Defaults to ANIM_LAYER_OVERWRITE.
Returns
The created anim component layer.
assignAnimation()
assignAnimation(
nodePath: string,
animTrack: AnimTrack,
layerName?: string,
speed?: number,
loop?: boolean): void
Associates an animation with a state or blend tree node in the loaded state graph. If all states are linked and the AnimComponent#activate value was set to true then the component will begin playing. If no state graph is loaded, a default state graph will be created with a single state based on the provided nodePath parameter.
Parameters
nodePath
string
Either the state name or the path to a blend tree node that this
animation should be associated with. Each section of a blend tree path is split using a
period (.
) therefore state names should not include this character (e.g "MyStateName" or
"MyStateName.BlendTreeNode").
animTrack
The animation track that will be assigned to this state and played whenever this state is active.
layerName?
string
The name of the anim component layer to update. If omitted the default layer is used. If no state graph has been previously loaded this parameter is ignored.
speed?
number
= 1
Update the speed of the state you are assigning an animation to. Defaults to 1.
loop?
boolean
= true
Update the loop property of the state you are assigning an animation to. Defaults to true.
Returns
void
findAnimationLayer()
findAnimationLayer(name: string): AnimComponentLayer
Finds a AnimComponentLayer in this component.
Parameters
