blender saves an animation for each object. But blender plays them all simultaneously. how can I do the same using the addon or TS?

Ramon, to play animations from Blender simultaneously in Needle Engine, similar to how it is done in Blender, you’ll need to ensure animations are set up correctly in Blender before exporting. Needle Engine will play animations on each object as dictated by the animation clips associated with those objects.
Here’s a step-by-step guide in TypeScript to play animations:
- Reference the animation clips for each object from Blender.
- Add an
AnimationorAnimatorcomponent to each object in TypeScript. - Play the animation using the respective component’s method.
Below is a TypeScript example to play an Animation Clip (assuming you have the animation clips referenced already from Blender):
import { Animation, Animator, Behaviour, serializable } from '@needle-tools/engine';
import { AnimationClip } from 'three';
export class PlayAnimationsSimultaneously extends Behaviour {
@serializable(AnimationClip)
private animations: AnimationClip[]; // Array of AnimationClips from Blender
start() {
this.animations.forEach(clip => {
const animation = this.gameObject.addComponent(Animation);
animation.addClip(clip);
animation.play(clip.name);
});
}
}
Place this script on the parent object or on each object that has an animation. Ensure that each object has its own AnimationClip referenced.
Furthermore, for networking events and clicks, you can use the provided component-click-networking.ts example from the documentation which sends the received click to all connected clients, allowing you to respond to click events, such as playing animations across the network (see the documentation).

Hello Ramon, to assist you effectively, could you please specify what you’re trying to achieve or what example you’re referring to? If it’s related to scripting, component usage, or any other feature in the Needle Engine, please give me a bit more context so I can provide you with the appropriate example or guide you through solving the issue.

@Ramon Xavier hi, do you mean you want to play all animations on all objects immediately in the browser?
i want play all when i touch a button and turn off when i press again
by user 736699881032384574
You can add the „Animation“ component to objects and assign which tracks play on them. Then from a script or from events on a button can play on the ones you want to play
i try it. but sometimes its get erro.

import { Behaviour, PlayableDirector, serializable} from ‘@needle-tools/engine’;
export class startAnimation extends Behaviour {
@serializable(PlayableDirector)
an?: PlayableDirector;
setAnimation(){
if(this.an){
if(this.an.isPlaying){
this.an.stop();
}
else{
this.an.play();
}
}
}
}

doesn’t just work on the main component.
but I want to be able to control the main component together with the other components.

I’ve thought of other solutions but I haven’t had time to redo it yet.
by user 736699881032384574
I did it.
just to clarify.
I was trying to animate the same object as I was using the button component.
I had to put the programming above and the click button on another empty object

here’s my solution for anyone who needs it. if there are other, easier ways, please share.
by user 736699881032384574
import { Behaviour, PlayableDirector, serializable} from ‘@needle-tools/engine’;
export class setAnimation extends Behaviour {
@serializable(PlayableDirector)
animation?: PlayableDirector;
animationBegin(): void{
this.animation?.forEach(x => {
if(x){
if(x.isPlaying){
x.stop();
}
else{
x.play();
}
}
});
}
}

Glad you got it to work 
Thanks for following up!
