Detailed Description

AnimationController type controls the selection and playback of animations. The type can be used to find all animations from Entity tree and create AnimationGroups from the animations with the same name. The user can select which animation group is currently controlled with the animation controller by setting the active animation. The animation position is then propagated to that group after scaling and offsetting the provided position value with the positionScale and positionOffset values.

Note: that the animation controller doesn't have internal timer, but instead the user is responsible for updating the position property in timely manner.

Property Documentation

activeAnimationGroup : int

animationGroups : list<AnimationGroup>
