ModelExperimentalAnimationCollection

new Cesium.ModelExperimentalAnimationCollection()
Scene/ModelExperimental/ModelExperimentalAnimationCollection.js 20

A collection of active model animations. Access this using ModelExperimental#activeAnimations.
See:

Members

animationAdded : Event
Scene/ModelExperimental/ModelExperimentalAnimationCollection.js 33

The event fired when an animation is added to the collection. This can be used, for example, to keep a UI in sync.
Default Value: new Event()
Example:
model.activeAnimations.animationAdded.addEventListener(function(model, animation) {
  console.log('Animation added: ' + animation.name);
});

animationRemoved : Event
Scene/ModelExperimental/ModelExperimentalAnimationCollection.js 47

The event fired when an animation is removed from the collection. This can be used, for example, to keep a UI in sync.
Default Value: new Event()
Example:
model.activeAnimations.animationRemoved.addEventListener(function(model, animation) {
  console.log('Animation removed: ' + animation.name);
});

readonly length : Number
Scene/ModelExperimental/ModelExperimentalAnimationCollection.js 63

The number of animations in the collection.

readonly model : ModelExperimental
Scene/ModelExperimental/ModelExperimentalAnimationCollection.js 77

The model that owns this animation collection.

Methods

add(options) → ModelAnimation
Scene/ModelExperimental/ModelExperimentalAnimationCollection.js 157

Creates and adds an animation with the specified initial properties to the collection.

This raises the ModelExperimentalAnimationCollection#animationAdded event so, for example, a UI can stay in sync.

Name Type Description
options Object Object with the following properties:
Name Type Default Description
name String optional The glTF animation name that identifies the animation. Must be defined if options.index is undefined.
index Number optional The glTF animation index that identifies the animation. Must be defined if options.name is undefined.
startTime JulianDate optional The scene time to start playing the animation. When this is undefined, the animation starts at the next frame.
delay Number 0.0 optional The delay, in seconds, from startTime to start playing. This will only affect the animation if options.loop is ModelAnimationLoop.NONE.
stopTime JulianDate optional The scene time to stop playing the animation. When this is undefined, the animation is played for its full duration.
removeOnStop Boolean false optional When true, the animation is removed after it stops playing. This will only affect the animation if options.loop is ModelAnimationLoop.NONE.
multiplier Number 1.0 optional Values greater than 1.0 increase the speed that the animation is played relative to the scene clock speed; values less than 1.0 decrease the speed.
reverse Boolean false optional When true, the animation is played in reverse.
loop ModelAnimationLoop ModelAnimationLoop.NONE optional Determines if and how the animation is looped.
Returns:
The animation that was added to the collection.
Throws:
Examples:
// Example 1. Add an animation by name
model.activeAnimations.add({
  name : 'animation name'
});
// Example 2. Add an animation by index
model.activeAnimations.add({
  index : 0
});
// Example 3. Add an animation and provide all properties and events
const startTime = Cesium.JulianDate.now();

const animation = model.activeAnimations.add({
  name : 'another animation name',
  startTime : startTime,
  delay : 0.0,                                 // Play at startTime (default)
  stopTime : Cesium.JulianDate.addSeconds(startTime, 4.0, new Cesium.JulianDate()),
  removeOnStop : false,                        // Do not remove when animation stops (default)
  multiplier : 2.0,                            // Play at double speed
  reverse : true,                              // Play in reverse
  loop : Cesium.ModelAnimationLoop.REPEAT      // Loop the animation
});

animation.start.addEventListener(function(model, animation) {
  console.log('Animation started: ' + animation.name);
});
animation.update.addEventListener(function(model, animation, time) {
  console.log('Animation updated: ' + animation.name + '. glTF animation time: ' + time);
});
animation.stop.addEventListener(function(model, animation) {
  console.log('Animation stopped: ' + animation.name);
});

addAll(options) → Array.<ModelExperimentalAnimation>
Scene/ModelExperimental/ModelExperimentalAnimationCollection.js 240

Creates and adds animations with the specified initial properties to the collection for all animations in the model.

This raises the ModelExperimentalAnimationCollection#animationAdded event for each model so, for example, a UI can stay in sync.

Name Type Description
options Object optional Object with the following properties:
Name Type Default Description
startTime JulianDate optional The scene time to start playing the animations. When this is undefined, the animations starts at the next frame.
delay Number 0.0 optional The delay, in seconds, from startTime to start playing. This will only affect the animation if options.loop is ModelAnimationLoop.NONE.
stopTime JulianDate optional The scene time to stop playing the animations. When this is undefined, the animations are played for its full duration.
removeOnStop Boolean false optional When true, the animations are removed after they stop playing. This will only affect the animation if options.loop is ModelAnimationLoop.NONE.
multiplier Number 1.0 optional Values greater than 1.0 increase the speed that the animations play relative to the scene clock speed; values less than 1.0 decrease the speed.
reverse Boolean false optional When true, the animations are played in reverse.
loop ModelAnimationLoop ModelAnimationLoop.NONE optional Determines if and how the animations are looped.
Returns:
An array of ModelExperimentalAnimation objects, one for each animation added to the collection. If there are no glTF animations, the array is empty.
Throws:
Example:
model.activeAnimations.addAll({
  multiplier : 0.5,                            // Play at half-speed
  loop : Cesium.ModelAnimationLoop.REPEAT      // Loop the animations
});

contains(runtimeAnimation) → Boolean
Scene/ModelExperimental/ModelExperimentalAnimationCollection.js 330

Determines whether this collection contains a given animation.
Name Type Description
runtimeAnimation ModelExperimentalAnimation The runtime animation to check for.
Returns:
true if this collection contains the animation, false otherwise.

get(index) → ModelExperimentalAnimation
Scene/ModelExperimental/ModelExperimentalAnimationCollection.js 357

Returns the animation in the collection at the specified index. Indices are zero-based and increase as animations are added. Removing an animation shifts all animations after it to the left, changing their indices. This function is commonly used to iterate over all the animations in the collection.
Name Type Description
index Number The zero-based index of the animation.
Returns:
The runtime animation at the specified index.
Example:
// Output the names of all the animations in the collection.
const animations = model.activeAnimations;
const length = animations.length;
for (let i = 0; i < length; ++i) {
  console.log(animations.get(i).name);
}

remove(runtimeAnimation) → Boolean
Scene/ModelExperimental/ModelExperimentalAnimationCollection.js 287

Removes an animation from the collection.

This raises the ModelExperimentalAnimationCollection#animationRemoved event so, for example, a UI can stay in sync.

An animation can also be implicitly removed from the collection by setting ModelExperimentalAnimationCollection#removeOnStop to true. The ModelExperimentalAnimationCollection#animationRemoved event is still fired when the animation is removed.

Name Type Description
runtimeAnimation ModelExperimentalAnimation The runtime animation to remove.
Returns:
true if the animation was removed; false if the animation was not found in the collection.
Example:
const a = model.activeAnimations.add({
  name : 'animation name'
});
model.activeAnimations.remove(a); // Returns true

removeAll()
Scene/ModelExperimental/ModelExperimentalAnimationCollection.js 312

Removes all animations from the collection.

This raises the ModelExperimentalAnimationCollection#animationRemoved event for each animation so, for example, a UI can stay in sync.
