AnimationTree
=============

**Inherits:** :ref:`AnimationMixer<class_AnimationMixer>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A node used for advanced animation transitions in an :ref:`AnimationPlayer<class_AnimationPlayer>`.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

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

A node used for advanced animation transitions in an :ref:`AnimationPlayer<class_AnimationPlayer>`.

\ **Note:** When linked with an :ref:`AnimationPlayer<class_AnimationPlayer>`, several properties and methods of the corresponding :ref:`AnimationPlayer<class_AnimationPlayer>` will not function as expected. Playback and transitions should be handled using only the **AnimationTree** and its constituent :ref:`AnimationNode<class_AnimationNode>`\ (s). The :ref:`AnimationPlayer<class_AnimationPlayer>` node should be used solely for adding, deleting, and editing animations.
