How to use animations on multiple meshes?

[kaitek666]

Hey! It's me again

Since I started using BJS as my game engine, I've came across some problems I couldn't understand, but animations are the hardest for me.

Using this.tutorial I created an animation on my loaded model with several meshes. When I want to run my animation (here's a default one, from tutorial) only one (first) mesh is being animated.

 

Am I doing something wrong?

	RockRaider.prototype.walk = function() {
		var animationBox = 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: 100,
			value: 1
		});

		animationBox.setKeys(keys);
		this.raider.forEach(function (mesh) {
            mesh.animations.push(animationBox);
        });

		this.raider.forEach(function (mesh) {
			scene.beginAnimation(mesh, 0, 100, true);
		});
		
	}

Please note: Putting them in separate forEach wasn't necessary. Firing them at once does not solve the problem.

 

I tried this solution as well, but it didn't do the trick:

		animationBox.setKeys(keys);
		this.raider.forEach(function (mesh) {
            mesh.animations.push(animationBox);
		//	scene.beginAnimation(mesh, 0, 100, true);
        });

		for(i=0; i<this.raider.length; i++){
			scene.beginAnimation(this.raider[i],0,100,true);
		}

Hello this is because animations cannot be shared.

You need to create an animation per mesh

Thanks @Deltakosh! I didn't know that!

My code is fine now, I put everything in one forEach(). It's working!
