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

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

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

Base class for :ref:`AnimationTree<class_AnimationTree>` nodes. Not related to scene nodes.

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

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

You can access the time information as read-only parameter which is processed and stored in the previous frame for all nodes except :ref:`AnimationNodeOutput<class_AnimationNodeOutput>`.

\ **Note:** If multiple inputs exist in the **AnimationNode**, which time information takes precedence depends on the type of **AnimationNode**.

    var current_position = $AnimationTree["parameters/AnimationNodeName/current_position"]
    var current_delta = $AnimationTree["parameters/AnimationNodeName/current_delta"]

**Deprecated:** Currently this is mostly useless as there is a lack of many APIs to extend AnimationNode by GDScript. It is planned that a more flexible API using structures will be provided in the future.

When inheriting from :ref:`AnimationRootNode<class_AnimationRootNode>`, implement this virtual method to run some code when this animation 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 delta.

Blends 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.
