Animation

Description

The animation component is used to play back animations.

You can assign animation clips to the animation component and control playback from your script. The animation system in Unity is weight based and supports: Animation Blending, Additive animations, Animation Mixing, Layers and full control over all aspects of animation playback.

For an overview of animation scripting in Unity please read this introduction.

To play a simple animation use Animation.Play
To cross-fade between animations use Animation.CrossFade
To change how animations wrap (Loop, Once, PingPong) change the WrapMode of the respective AnimationClips in their import settings, or use AnimationState.wrapMode to change it at runtime.
AnimationState can be used to change the layer of an animation, modify playback speed, and for direct control over blending and mixing.

Animation also supports enumerators so you can loop through all AnimationStates like this:

// Make all animations in this character play at half speed
for (var state : AnimationState in animation) {
	state.speed = 0.5;
}

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
    void Example() {
        foreach (AnimationState state in animation) {
            state.speed = 0.5F;
        }
    }
}

import UnityEngine
import System.Collections

public class ExampleClass(MonoBehaviour):

	def Example() as void:
		for state as AnimationState in animation:
			state.speed = 0.5F

Variables

animatePhysics	When turned on, animations will be executed in the physics loop. This is only useful in conjunction with kinematic rigidbodies.
clip	The default animation.
cullingType	Controls culling of this Animation component.
isPlaying	Are we playing any animations?
localBounds	AABB of this Animation animation component in local space.
playAutomatically	Should the default animation clip (Animation.clip) automatically start playing on startup.
this[string]	Returns the animation state named name.
wrapMode	How should time beyond the playback range of the clip be treated?

Functions

AddClip	Adds a clip to the animation with name newName.
Blend	Blends the animation named animation towards targetWeight over the next time seconds.
CrossFade	Fades the animation with name animation in over a period of time seconds and fades other animations out.
CrossFadeQueued	Cross fades an animation after previous animations has finished playing.
GetClipCount	Get the number of clips currently assigned to this animation.
IsPlaying	Is the animation named name playing?
Play	Plays animation without any blending.
PlayQueued	Plays an animation after previous animations has finished playing.
RemoveClip	Remove clip from the animation list.
Rewind	Rewinds the animation named name.
Sample	Samples animations at the current state.
Stop	Stops all playing animations that were started with this Animation.
