.. _class_AnimationNodeStateMachinePlayback:

AnimationNodeStateMachinePlayback
=================================

**Inherits:** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` **<** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Playback control for :ref:`AnimationNodeStateMachine<class_AnimationNodeStateMachine>`.

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

Allows control of :ref:`AnimationTree<class_AnimationTree>` state machines created with :ref:`AnimationNodeStateMachine<class_AnimationNodeStateMachine>`. Retrieve with ``$AnimationTree.get("parameters/playback")``.

\ **Example:**\ 


.. tabs::

 .. code-tab:: gdscript

    var state_machine = $AnimationTree.get("parameters/playback")
    state_machine.travel("some_state")

 .. code-tab:: csharp

    var stateMachine = GetNode<AnimationTree>("AnimationTree").Get("parameters/playback") as AnimationNodeStateMachinePlayback;
    stateMachine.Travel("some_state");
