AnimationNode
=============

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

**Inherited By:** :ref:`AnimationNodeOutput<class_AnimationNodeOutput>`, :ref:`AnimationNodeSync<class_AnimationNodeSync>`, :ref:`AnimationNodeTimeScale<class_AnimationNodeTimeScale>`, :ref:`AnimationNodeTimeSeek<class_AnimationNodeTimeSeek>`, :ref:`AnimationRootNode<class_AnimationRootNode>`

Base resource for :ref:`AnimationTree<class_AnimationTree>` nodes.

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

Base resource for :ref:`AnimationTree<class_AnimationTree>` nodes. In general, it's not used directly, but you can create custom ones with custom blending formulas.

Inherit this when creating nodes mainly for use in :ref:`AnimationNodeBlendTree<class_AnimationNodeBlendTree>`, otherwise :ref:`AnimationRootNode<class_AnimationRootNode>` should be used instead.

.. _class_AnimationNode_method__get_parameter_list:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Array<class_Array>` **_get_parameter_list** **(** **)** |virtual| |const|

When inheriting from :ref:`AnimationRootNode<class_AnimationRootNode>`, implement this virtual method to return a list of the properties on this node. Parameters are custom local memory used for your nodes, given a resource can be reused in multiple trees. Format is similar to :ref:`Object.get_property_list<class_Object_method_get_property_list>`.

.. _class_AnimationNode_method__has_filter:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **_has_filter** **(** **)** |virtual| |const|

When inheriting from :ref:`AnimationRootNode<class_AnimationRootNode>`, implement this virtual method to return whether the blend tree editor should display filter editing on this node.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimationNode_method__process:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`float<class_float>` **_process** **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` time, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` seek, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` is_external_seeking **)** |virtual| |const|

When inheriting from :ref:`AnimationRootNode<class_AnimationRootNode>`, implement this virtual method to run some code when this node is processed. The ``time`` parameter is a relative delta, unless ``seek`` is ``true``, in which case it is absolute.

Here, call the :ref:`blend_input<class_AnimationNode_method_blend_input>`, :ref:`blend_node<class_AnimationNode_method_blend_node>` or :ref:`blend_animation<class_AnimationNode_method_blend_animation>` functions. You can also use :ref:`get_parameter<class_AnimationNode_method_get_parameter>` and :ref:`set_parameter<class_AnimationNode_method_set_parameter>` to modify local memory.

This function should return the time left for the current animation to finish (if unsure, pass the value from the main blend being called).

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimationNode_method_add_input:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **add_input** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` name **)**

Adds an input to the node. This is only useful for nodes created for use in an :ref:`AnimationNodeBlendTree<class_AnimationNodeBlendTree>`.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimationNode_method_blend_animation:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **blend_animation** **(** :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>` animation, :ref:`float<class_float>` time, :ref:`float<class_float>` delta, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` seeked, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` is_external_seeking, :ref:`float<class_float>` blend, :ref:`LoopedFlag<enum_Animation_LoopedFlag>` looped_flag=0 **)**

Blend an animation by ``blend`` amount (name must be valid in the linked :ref:`AnimationPlayer<class_AnimationPlayer>`). A ``time`` and ``delta`` may be passed, as well as whether ``seeked`` happened.

A ``looped_flag`` is used by internal processing immediately after the loop. See also :ref:`LoopedFlag<enum_Animation_LoopedFlag>`.

.. _class_AnimationNode_method_blend_input:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`float<class_float>` **blend_input** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` input_index, :ref:`float<class_float>` time, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` seek, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` is_external_seeking, :ref:`float<class_float>` blend, :ref:`FilterAction<enum_AnimationNode_FilterAction>` filter=0, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` sync=true **)**

Blend an input. This is only useful for nodes created for an :ref:`AnimationNodeBlendTree<class_AnimationNodeBlendTree>`. The ``time`` parameter is a relative delta, unless ``seek`` is ``true``, in which case it is absolute. A filter mode may be optionally passed (see :ref:`FilterAction<enum_AnimationNode_FilterAction>` for options).

.. _class_AnimationNode_method_blend_node:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`float<class_float>` **blend_node** **(** :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>` name, :ref:`AnimationNode<class_AnimationNode>` node, :ref:`float<class_float>` time, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` seek, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` is_external_seeking, :ref:`float<class_float>` blend, :ref:`FilterAction<enum_AnimationNode_FilterAction>` filter=0, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` sync=true **)**

Blend another animation node (in case this node contains children animation nodes). This function is only useful if you inherit from :ref:`AnimationRootNode<class_AnimationRootNode>` instead, else editors will not display your node for addition.

----

.. _class_AnimationNode_method_get_input_count:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`int<class_int>` **get_input_count** **(** **)** |const|

Amount of inputs in this node, only useful for nodes that go into :ref:`AnimationNodeBlendTree<class_AnimationNodeBlendTree>`.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimationNode_method_get_input_name:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`String<class_String>` **get_input_name** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` input **)**

Gets the name of an input by index.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimationNode_method_get_parameter:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` **get_parameter** **(** :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>` name **)** |const|

Gets the value of a parameter. Parameters are custom local memory used for your nodes, given a resource can be reused in multiple trees.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimationNode_method_is_path_filtered:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_path_filtered** **(** :ref:`NodePath<class_NodePath>` path **)** |const|

Returns whether the given path is filtered.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimationNode_method_remove_input:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **remove_input** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` index **)**

Removes an input, call this only when inactive.

.. _class_AnimationNode_method_set_filter_path:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **set_filter_path** **(** :ref:`NodePath<class_NodePath>` path, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` enable **)**

Adds or removes a path for the filter.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimationNode_method_set_parameter:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **set_parameter** **(** :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>` name, :ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` value **)**

Sets a custom parameter. These are used as local memory, because resources can be reused across the tree or scenes.
