Animations on subMaterials property

[3Dlove]

Hello guys

 

How to do an animation on a subMaterials property ?

 

example :

var animation = new BABYLON.Animation("anim", "material.subMaterials[3].diffuseColor.r", 30, BABYLON.Animation.ANIMATIONTYPE_FLOAT, BABYLON.Animation.ANIMATIONLOOPMODE_CYCLE);   

but the problem is with "[3]", so JavaScript show that "can't read property of undefined for diffuseColor" because it can't reade subMaterials[3].

 

If I haven't subMaterials, that work fine but how to do that with subMaterials ?^^

 

I like this method of animation because I can add it when I create a mesh and have the end event callback

 

Thanks

Howdy!

 

So, the problem is here - https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/blob/master/Babylon/Animations/babylon.animation.ts#L338

using this method, you cannot access an array's element. It is equivalent to:

var array = ["a", "b", "c"];var obj = {   array: array}console.log(obj["array[0]"]);

You will sadly get undefined.

 

A solution can be implemented. Wouldn't be too hard finding if the object is an array and simply using the parameter correctly. But it won't work as is.

 

 

Come to think about it, seeing this implementation - simply use "subMaterials.3" instead of "subMaterials[3]" . It is not javascript conform, but it will work for sure :-)

 

Here is a small demo - http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#22WIWY
