Accessing Multiple Animations in Animation Component

[boss15493]

I’m having trouble accessing multiple animations within the Animation Component. Basically, I have an object that needs several animations. I’m not using the Animator Component because I need to control the animation with user input, so I’m using the Animation Component, and it works perfectly. My problem is that I can only access a single animation in the array, or perhaps I’m trying to access it incorrectly.

this is how i try to acces the animations console.log(this.animationComponent?.animations)

Hi boss15493,

To access multiple animations within the Animation Component, ensure you are properly populating the animations array. Based on the implementation in the Animation component, you can use the addClip method to add animations dynamically.

Here’s how you can ensure multiple animations are added correctly:

1. Adding Multiple Clips: You can use the addClip method to add each animation clip to the component. This allows you to maintain an array of animations.

2. Accessing the Array of Animations: When accessing animations via console.log(this.animationComponent?.animations), ensure that you’ve previously populated this array with clips using the correct method.

3. Playing Specific Clips: When you need to play a specific animation, use the play() method and pass the index or the name of the animation.

Here’s a code snippet to demonstrate:

// Assume `animationComponent` is your Animation component instance

// Adding animations
animationComponent.addClip(animationClip1); // Replace with your AnimationClip
animationComponent.addClip(animationClip2); // Add as many as needed

// Accessing and logging the animations
console.log(this.animationComponent?.animations);

// Playing a specific animation
const animationIndex = 0; // Change this to the desired index
this.animationComponent.play(animationIndex, { loop: true });

Make sure your animations are correctly instantiated and not null before adding them to the Animation component. If you need further assistance with the specific code or method calls, feel free to provide the relevant snippets!
