Plays animation clips on the node. library is the clip asset, autoplay the clip started on load, speed_scale the rate; the animation module drives playback.

In a scene, animation is the node key that applies it. A script reaches each property below as a field on node.animation: reading one asks the running component, and assigning one leaves the rest alone. The whole table is node.animation.get() and node.animation.set(table).

Properties

property	type	default	description
`autoplay`	string	—	Clip to start when the scene loads; empty starts nothing
`library`	asset · `animation_library`	—	The clip library this node plays from
`root_node`	node	—	The node the clip's tracks resolve against; empty means this node
`speed_scale`	float	`1`	Playback rate for every clip on this node

Asset types this component references: animation_library.

Script functions

Methods of node.animation, the handle a node carrying this component exposes. Every handle also has get(), set(table), patch(table), has() and remove().

From animation:

method	what it does
`add_clip(string, any)`	Give this node a clip of its own under that name, from a definition table shaped like a scene file's.
`current_clip() -> string?`	The clip playing or paused on this node, and nil once it has ended, been stopped, or never started.
`is_playing() -> bool`	Whether a clip is advancing on this node; a paused, stopped, finished or absent one answers false.
`just_finished() -> string?`	The clip that ended on this node during the last step, and nil on every other frame.
`pause()`	Hold the playhead where it is, keeping the clip current so `resume` has something to go back to.
`play(string, any?)`	Start the clip of that name on this node; the trailing options table takes `speed_scale` (a multiplier), `from_start`, `blend_time` (seconds to blend out of the clip before), `ease` (the blend's curve, an `EASE_*` constant), and `retarget` (a `bone_map` reference, so this rig can play another rig's clips).
`queue(string)`	Play the clip of that name once the current one ends; a looping clip never ends, so a queue behind one never drains.
`resume()`	Carry on from where `pause` left off; a stopped, finished or never-started node is left alone.
`seek(float)`	Move the playhead to a number of seconds and pose the node there, even on a paused or ended clip.
`time() -> float`	Seconds of playback since the current clip started, before wrapping; a stopped clip keeps where it stopped.
