Class AnimationMixer

Namespace
Godot
Assembly
GodotSharp.dll

Base class for AnimationPlayer and AnimationTree to manage animation lists. It also has general properties and methods for playback and blending.

After instantiating the playback information data within the extended class, the blending is processed by the AnimationMixer.

Properties

Active

If true, the AnimationMixer will be processing.

public bool Active { get; set; }

Property Value

bool

AudioMaxPolyphony

The number of possible simultaneous sounds for each of the assigned AudioStreamPlayers.

For example, if this value is 32 and the animation has two audio tracks, the two AudioStreamPlayers assigned can play simultaneously up to 32 voices each.

public int AudioMaxPolyphony { get; set; }

Property Value

int

CallbackModeMethod

The call mode to use for Call Method tracks.

public AnimationMixer.AnimationCallbackModeMethod CallbackModeMethod { get; set; }

Property Value

AnimationMixer.AnimationCallbackModeMethod

CallbackModeProcess

The process notification in which to update animations.

public AnimationMixer.AnimationCallbackModeProcess CallbackModeProcess { get; set; }

Property Value

AnimationMixer.AnimationCallbackModeProcess

Deterministic

If true, the blending uses the deterministic algorithm. The total weight is not normalized and the result is accumulated with an initial value (0 or a "RESET" animation if present).

This means that if the total amount of blending is 0.0, the result is equal to the "RESET" animation.

If the number of tracks between the blended animations is different, the animation with the missing track is treated as if it had the initial value.

If false, The blend does not use the deterministic algorithm. The total weight is normalized and always 1.0. If the number of tracks between the blended animations is different, nothing is done about the animation that is missing a track.

Note: In AnimationTree, the blending with AnimationNodeAdd2, AnimationNodeAdd3, AnimationNodeSub2 or the weight greater than 1.0 may produce unexpected results.

For example, if AnimationNodeAdd2 blends two nodes with the amount 1.0, then total weight is 2.0 but it will be normalized to make the total amount 1.0 and the result will be equal to AnimationNodeBlend2 with the amount 0.5.

public bool Deterministic { get; set; }

Property Value

bool

ResetOnSave

This is used by the editor. If set to true, the scene will be saved with the effects of the reset animation (the animation with the key "RESET") applied as if it had been seeked to time 0, with the editor keeping the values that the scene had before saving.

This makes it more convenient to preview and edit animations in the editor, as changes to the scene will not be saved as long as they are set in the reset animation.

public bool ResetOnSave { get; set; }

Property Value

bool

RootMotionTrack

The path to the Animation track used for root motion. Paths must be valid scene-tree paths to a node, and must be specified starting from the parent node of the node that will reproduce the animation. To specify a track that controls properties or bones, append its name after the path, separated by ":". For example, "character/skeleton:ankle" or "character/mesh:transform/local".

If the track has type Position3D, Rotation3D or Scale3D the transformation will be canceled visually, and the animation will appear to stay in place. See also GetRootMotionPosition(), GetRootMotionRotation(), GetRootMotionScale() and RootMotionView.

public NodePath RootMotionTrack { get; set; }

Property Value

NodePath

RootNode

The node from which node path references will travel.

public NodePath RootNode { get; set; }

Property Value

NodePath

Methods

AddAnimationLibrary(StringName, AnimationLibrary)

Adds library to the animation player, under the key name.

public Error AddAnimationLibrary(StringName name, AnimationLibrary library)

Parameters

name StringName
library AnimationLibrary

Returns

Error

Advance(double)

Manually advance the animations by the specified time (in seconds).

public void Advance(double delta)

Parameters

delta double

ClearCaches()

AnimationMixer caches animated nodes. It may not notice if a node disappears; ClearCaches() forces it to update the cache again.

public void ClearCaches()

FindAnimation(Animation)

Returns the key of animation or an empty StringName if not found.

public StringName FindAnimation(Animation animation)

Parameters

animation Animation

Returns

StringName

FindAnimationLibrary(Animation)

Returns the key for the AnimationLibrary that contains animation or an empty StringName if not found.

public StringName FindAnimationLibrary(Animation animation)

Parameters

animation Animation

Returns

StringName

GetAnimation(StringName)

Returns the Animation with the key name. If the animation does not exist, null is returned and an error is logged.

public Animation GetAnimation(StringName name)

Parameters

name StringName

Returns

Animation

GetAnimationLibrary(StringName)

Returns the first AnimationLibrary with key name or null if not found.

To get the AnimationPlayer's global animation library, use get_animation_library("").

public AnimationLibrary GetAnimationLibrary(StringName name)

Parameters

name StringName

Returns

AnimationLibrary

GetAnimationLibraryList()

Returns the list of stored library keys.

public Array<StringName> GetAnimationLibraryList()

Returns

Array<StringName>

GetAnimationList()

Returns the list of stored animation keys.

public string[] GetAnimationList()

Returns

string[]

GetRootMotionPosition()

Retrieve the motion delta of position with the RootMotionTrack as a Vector3 that can be used elsewhere.

If RootMotionTrack is not a path to a track of type Position3D, returns Vector3(0, 0, 0).

See also RootMotionTrack and RootMotionView.

The most basic example is applying position to CharacterBody3D:

By using this in combination with GetRootMotionPositionAccumulator(), you can apply the root motion position more correctly to account for the rotation of the node.

public Vector3 GetRootMotionPosition()

Returns

Vector3

GetRootMotionPositionAccumulator()

Retrieve the blended value of the position tracks with the RootMotionTrack as a Vector3 that can be used elsewhere.

This is useful in cases where you want to respect the initial key values of the animation.

For example, if an animation with only one key Vector3(0, 0, 0) is played in the previous frame and then an animation with only one key Vector3(1, 0, 1) is played in the next frame, the difference can be calculated as follows:

However, if the animation loops, an unintended discrete change may occur, so this is only useful for some simple use cases.

public Vector3 GetRootMotionPositionAccumulator()

Returns

Vector3

GetRootMotionRotation()

Retrieve the motion delta of rotation with the RootMotionTrack as a Quaternion that can be used elsewhere.

If RootMotionTrack is not a path to a track of type Rotation3D, returns Quaternion(0, 0, 0, 1).

See also RootMotionTrack and RootMotionView.

The most basic example is applying rotation to CharacterBody3D:

public Quaternion GetRootMotionRotation()

Returns

Quaternion

GetRootMotionRotationAccumulator()

Retrieve the blended value of the rotation tracks with the RootMotionTrack as a Quaternion that can be used elsewhere.

This is necessary to apply the root motion position correctly, taking rotation into account. See also GetRootMotionPosition().

Also, this is useful in cases where you want to respect the initial key values of the animation.

For example, if an animation with only one key Quaternion(0, 0, 0, 1) is played in the previous frame and then an animation with only one key Quaternion(0, 0.707, 0, 0.707) is played in the next frame, the difference can be calculated as follows:

However, if the animation loops, an unintended discrete change may occur, so this is only useful for some simple use cases.

public Quaternion GetRootMotionRotationAccumulator()

Returns

Quaternion

GetRootMotionScale()

Retrieve the motion delta of scale with the RootMotionTrack as a Vector3 that can be used elsewhere.

If RootMotionTrack is not a path to a track of type Scale3D, returns Vector3(0, 0, 0).

See also RootMotionTrack and RootMotionView.

The most basic example is applying scale to CharacterBody3D:

public Vector3 GetRootMotionScale()

Returns

Vector3

GetRootMotionScaleAccumulator()

Retrieve the blended value of the scale tracks with the RootMotionTrack as a Vector3 that can be used elsewhere.

For example, if an animation with only one key Vector3(1, 1, 1) is played in the previous frame and then an animation with only one key Vector3(2, 2, 2) is played in the next frame, the difference can be calculated as follows:

However, if the animation loops, an unintended discrete change may occur, so this is only useful for some simple use cases.

public Vector3 GetRootMotionScaleAccumulator()

Returns

Vector3
