Signals
-------

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_animation_changed:

Notifies when an animation starts playing.


Member Variables
----------------

  .. _class_AnimationPlayer_autoplay:

- :ref:`String<class_string>` **autoplay** - The name of the animation to play when the scene loads. Default value: ``""``.

  .. _class_AnimationPlayer_current_animation:

- :ref:`String<class_string>` **current_animation** - The name of the current animation, "" if not playing anything. When being set, does not restart the animation. See also :ref:`play<class_AnimationPlayer_play>`. Default value: ``""``.

  .. _class_AnimationPlayer_current_animation_length:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **current_animation_length** - The length (in seconds) of the currently being played animation.

  .. _class_AnimationPlayer_current_animation_position:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **current_animation_position** - The position (in seconds) of the currently playing animation.

  .. _class_AnimationPlayer_playback_active:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **playback_active** - If ``true``, updates animations in response to process-related notifications. Default value: ``true``.

  .. _class_AnimationPlayer_playback_default_blend_time:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **playback_default_blend_time** - The default time in which to blend animations. Ranges from 0 to 4096 with 0.01 precision. Default value: ``0``.

  .. _class_AnimationPlayer_playback_process_mode:

- :ref:`AnimationProcessMode<enum_animationplayer_animationprocessmode>` **playback_process_mode** - The process notification in which to update animations. Default value: enum ANIMATION_PROCESS_IDLE.

  .. _class_AnimationPlayer_playback_speed:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **playback_speed** - The speed scaling ratio. For instance, if this value is 1 then the animation plays at normal speed. If it's 0.5 then it plays at half speed. If it's 2 then it plays at double speed. Default value: ``1``.

  .. _class_AnimationPlayer_root_node:

- :ref:`NodePath<class_nodepath>` **root_node** - The node from which node path references will travel. Default value: ``".."``.


Enums
-----

  .. _enum_AnimationPlayer_AnimationProcessMode:

enum **AnimationProcessMode**

- **ANIMATION_PROCESS_PHYSICS** = **0** --- Process animation during the physics process. This is especially useful when animating physics bodies.
- **ANIMATION_PROCESS_IDLE** = **1** --- Process animation during the idle process.


Description
-----------

An animation player is used for general purpose playback of :ref:`Animation<class_animation>` resources. It contains a dictionary of animations (referenced by name) and custom blend times between their transitions. Additionally, animations can be played and blended in different channels.

Member Function Description
---------------------------

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_add_animation:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **add_animation** **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` name, :ref:`Animation<class_animation>` animation **)**

Adds ``animation`` to the player accessible with the key ``name``.

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_advance:

- void **advance** **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` delta **)**

Shifts position in the animation timeline. Delta is the time in seconds to shift.

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_animation_get_next:

- :ref:`String<class_string>` **animation_get_next** **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` anim_from **)** const

Returns the name of the next animation in the queue.

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_animation_set_next:

- void **animation_set_next** **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` anim_from, :ref:`String<class_string>` anim_to **)**

Triggers the ``anim_to`` animation when the ``anim_from`` animation completes.

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_clear_caches:

- void **clear_caches** **(** **)**

``AnimationPlayer`` caches animated nodes. It may not notice if a node disappears, so clear_caches forces it to update the cache again.

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_clear_queue:

- void **clear_queue** **(** **)**

Clears all queued, unplayed animations.

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_find_animation:

- :ref:`String<class_string>` **find_animation** **(** :ref:`Animation<class_animation>` animation **)** const

Returns the name of ``animation`` or empty string if not found.

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_get_animation:

- :ref:`Animation<class_animation>` **get_animation** **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` name **)** const

Returns the :ref:`Animation<class_animation>` with key ``name`` or ``null`` if not found.

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_get_animation_list:

- :ref:`PoolStringArray<class_poolstringarray>` **get_animation_list** **(** **)** const

Returns the list of stored animation names.

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_get_blend_time:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_blend_time** **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` anim_from, :ref:`String<class_string>` anim_to **)** const

Get the blend time (in seconds) between two animations, referenced by their names.

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_has_animation:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **has_animation** **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` name **)** const

Returns ``true`` if the ``AnimationPlayer`` stores an :ref:`Animation<class_animation>` with key ``name``.

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_is_playing:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_playing** **(** **)** const

Returns ``true`` if playing an animation.

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_play:

- void **play** **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` name="", :ref:`float<class_float>` custom_blend=-1, :ref:`float<class_float>` custom_speed=1.0, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` from_end=false **)**

Play the animation with key ``name``. Custom speed and blend times can be set. If custom speed is negative (-1), 'from_end' being true can play the animation backwards.

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_play_backwards:

- void **play_backwards** **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` name="", :ref:`float<class_float>` custom_blend=-1 **)**

Play the animation with key ``name`` in reverse.

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_queue:

- void **queue** **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` name **)**

Queue an animation for playback once the current one is done.

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_remove_animation:

- void **remove_animation** **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` name **)**

Remove the animation with key ``name``.

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_rename_animation:

- void **rename_animation** **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` name, :ref:`String<class_string>` newname **)**

Rename an existing animation with key ``name`` to ``newname``.

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_seek:

- void **seek** **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` seconds, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` update=false **)**

Seek the animation to the ``seconds`` point in time (in seconds). If ``update`` is ``true``, the animation updates too, otherwise it updates at process time.

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_set_blend_time:

- void **set_blend_time** **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` anim_from, :ref:`String<class_string>` anim_to, :ref:`float<class_float>` sec **)**

Specify a blend time (in seconds) between two animations, referenced by their names.

.. _class_AnimationPlayer_stop:

- void **stop** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` reset=true **)**

Stop the currently playing animation. If ``reset`` is ``true``, the anim position is reset to ``0``.
