How to remove animation?

[Ingo Chou]

Hello,

 

How to remove animation created by BABYLON.Scene.beginAnimation(target, from, to, true) ?

 

BABYLON.Animatable object returned by  BABYLON.Scene.beginAnimation()  can only stop at a

 

key frame.

 

 

        if (bAnim) {                var anim = new BABYLON.Animation("myAnimation", "scaling.x", 30,                 BABYLON.Animation.ANIMATIONTYPE_FLOAT, BABYLON.Animation.ANIMATIONLOOPMODE_CYCLE);                var keys = [];                keys.push({ frame: 0, value: 1 });                keys.push({ frame: 20, value: 0.2 });                keys.push({ frame: 60, value: 1 });                anim.setKeys(keys);                mymesh.animations.push(anim);                scene.beginAnimation(mymesh, 0, 60, true);        }        else {               scene.stopAnimation(mymesh);               mymesh.animations = new Array();        }

Hello,

 

beginAnimation returns an Animatable which has a stop() function

Hello,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

Animatable.stop() can only stop the animation at a certain key frame.

 

However, I want to delete, completely destroy/remove the animations of the mesh.

 

Sometimes I need to re-create a new animation for it.

 

Thanks.

I am getting into AnimationRange instances for skeletons coming from external sources, .babylon file.  Was planning on adding a modest # of methods for AnimationRange management today (hopefully).

 

At Animation Class:

1. getHighestFrame() : number, for adding more animation ranges along with the frames themselves without frame # collision
2. removeAnimationRange(rangeName: string) : boolean

At Bone Class:

1. copyAnimationRange(donor : Bone, rescaleAsRequired = false) : boolean // rescaleAsRequired not implemented first PR

At Skeleton Class:

1. copyAnimationRange(donor : Skeleton, rescaleAsRequired = false) : boolean // rescaleAsRequired not implemented first PR
2. removeAnimationRange(rangeName : string): boolean

This is in addition to methods to load ranges.  These will not be coming out of the Blender exporter yet, but tested by hand modifying a .babylon.  If you start assigning ranges to stuff as you add it, then you should be able to rely on these to clean up.

Update:  There is already a deleteRange method in Animation, so cross off one for me.

Update # 2:  deleteRange() only removes the range from the _ranges property.  Am going to add a removeFrames? : boolean arg.

sounds good!
