Path all points animation

[iri]

Hi) I use this example https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#72C7CT#3. But in this example we have all trajectory in first step. 

I tried to change this example for my  question: https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#X0MDYG. In this example I see animation of the last segment of my all path. How can I change this situation and see animation from my first point to the last. This situation occurs when we initially do not know the entire trajectory. We only know the current and previous trajectory node.

Could anybody help me?

The way the playground is currently set up, each call to 'heartFlight' will replace the previous animation and thus you only have the last animation.

I've fixed it with the following playground, but I don't know if that's what you are trying to do since I removed the while loop.

Are you perhaps trying to trace a path while points are being added? If so, using animations may not be the right approach.

Yes, you are right. Points are added to my path. And I want animate some moving from the one point to another...

Animations are intended to have a static set of keys. You might be able to create a queue of animations and then play them back to back as you add points to your path, but I'm not very sure if that's is any easier than just moving the object manually.

You can also add onAnimationEnd param:

scene.beginAnimation(vehicle, 0, length, false, 10, () => {
  heartFlight(vehicle, move_trajectory, index + 1);
});

If you added any points during the animation, they would get added to the end.  You would need code to restart a completed animation or perhaps a queue push/pop as @bghgary suggests.

I added some smoothing, so the speed is consistent on different length path segments.  If you don't want a steady speed then you can look at slerp on total length or rebuilding animation when points are added (start at current pos) and using the built-in easing functions.  cheers.

Thank you, guys) I will try it)
