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

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.

::

    # This creates an animation that makes the node "Enemy" move to the right by
    # 100 pixels in 1 second.
    var animation = Animation.new()
    var track_index = animation.add_track(Animation.TYPE_VALUE)
    animation.track_set_path(track_index, "Enemy:position.x")
    animation.track_insert_key(track_index, 0.0, 0)
    animation.track_insert_key(track_index, 0.5, 100)

Animations are just data containers, and must be added to nodes such as an :ref:`AnimationPlayer<class_AnimationPlayer>` or :ref:`AnimationTreePlayer<class_AnimationTreePlayer>` to be played back.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_Animation_property_length:

+----------+-------------------+
| *Setter* | set_length(value) |
+----------+-------------------+
| *Getter* | get_length()      |
+----------+-------------------+

The total length of the animation (in seconds). Note that length is not delimited by the last key, as this one may be before or after the end to ensure correct interpolation and looping.

+----------+-----------------+

+----------+-----------------+

A flag indicating that the animation must loop. This is uses for correct interpolation of animation cycles, and for hinting the player that it must restart the animation.

----

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **step**

+----------+-----------------+
