Contains data used to animate everything in the engine. An Animation resource contains data used to animate everything in the engine. Animations are divided into tracks, and each track must be linked to a node. The state of that node can be changed through time, by adding timed keys (events) to the track.

Animation tracks have different types, each with its own set of dedicated methods. Check [enum TrackType] to see available types. https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/animation/index.html Adds a track to the Animation.

Sets the value of the key identified by [code]key_idx[/code] to the given value. The [code]track_idx[/code] must be the index of a Bezier Track. Clear the animation (clear all tracks and reset all). Adds a new track that is a copy of the given track from [code]to_animation[/code]. Returns the index of the specified track. If the track is not found, return -1. Returns the amount of tracks in the animation. Returns all the key indices of a method track, given a position and delta time. Returns the method name of a method track. Returns the arguments values to be called on a method track for a given key in a given track. Removes a track by specifying the track index. Finds the key index by time in a given track. Optionally, only find it if the exact time is given. Returns [code]true[/code] if the track at [code]idx[/code] wraps the interpolation loop. New tracks wrap the interpolation loop by default. Returns the interpolation type of a given track. Returns the amount of keys in a given track. Returns the time at which the key is located. Returns the transition curve (easing) for a specific key (see the built-in math function [method @GlobalScope.ease]). Returns the value of a given key in a given track. Gets the path of a track. For more information on the path format, see [method track_set_path]. Gets the type of a track. Insert a generic key in a given track. Returns [code]true[/code] if the track at index [code]idx[/code] is enabled. Returns [code]true[/code] if the given track is imported. Else, return [code]false[/code]. Moves a track down. Changes the index position of track [code]idx[/code] to the one defined in [code]to_idx[/code]. Moves a track up. Removes a key by index in a given track. Removes a key at [code]time[/code] in a given track. Enables/disables the given track. Tracks are enabled by default. Sets the given track as imported or not. If [code]true[/code], the track at [code]idx[/code] wraps the interpolation loop. Sets the interpolation type of a given track. Sets the time of an existing key. Sets the transition curve (easing) for a specific key (see the built-in math function [method @GlobalScope.ease]). Sets the value of an existing key. Sets the path of a track. Paths must be valid scene-tree paths to a node and must be specified starting from the parent node of the node that will reproduce the animation. Tracks that control properties or bones must append their name after the path, separated by [code]":"[/code]. For example, [code]"character/skeleton:ankle"[/code] or [code]"character/mesh:transform/local"[/code]. Swaps the track [code]idx[/code]'s index position with the track [code]with_idx[/code]. Insert a transform key for a transform track. Returns the interpolated value of a transform track at a given time (in seconds). An array consisting of 3 elements: position ([Vector3]), rotation ([Quaternion]) and scale ([Vector3]). Returns all the key indices of a value track, given a position and delta time. Returns the update mode of a value track. Returns the interpolated value at the given time (in seconds). The [code]track_idx[/code] must be the index of a value track. Sets the update mode (see [enum UpdateMode]) of a value track. The total length of the animation (in seconds). [b]Note:[/b] Length is not delimited by the last key, as this one may be before or after the end to ensure correct interpolation and looping. Determines the behavior of both ends of the animation timeline during animation playback. This is used for correct interpolation of animation cycles, and for hinting the player that it must restart the animation. The animation step value. Emitted when there's a change in the list of tracks, e.g. tracks are added, moved or have changed paths. Value tracks set values in node properties, but only those which can be Interpolated. Transform3D tracks are used to change node local transforms or skeleton pose bones of 3D nodes. Transitions are interpolated. Method tracks call functions with given arguments per key. Bezier tracks are used to interpolate a value using custom curves. They can also be used to animate sub-properties of vectors and colors (e.g. alpha value of a [Color]). Audio tracks are used to play an audio stream with either type of [AudioStreamPlayer]. The stream can be trimmed and previewed in the animation. Animation tracks play animations in other [AnimationPlayer] nodes. No interpolation (nearest value). Linear interpolation. Cubic interpolation. Update between keyframes. Update at the keyframes and hold the value. Update at the keyframes. Same as linear interpolation, but also interpolates from the current value (i.e. dynamically at runtime) if the first key isn't at 0 seconds. At both ends of the animation, the animation will stop playing. At both ends of the animation, the animation will be repeated without changing the playback direction. Repeats playback and reverse playback at both ends of the animation.
