BTPlayAnimation
===============

**Inherits:** :ref:`BTAction<class_BTAction>` **<** :ref:`BTTask<class_BTTask>` **<** :ref:`BT<class_BT>`

BT action that plays an animation on the specified ``AnimationPlayer`` node.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

BTPlayAnimation action plays an animation on the specified ``AnimationPlayer`` node. If the :ref:`await_completion<class_BTPlayAnimation_property_await_completion>` is greater than ``0``, the action will wait for the animation to complete, with the maximum waiting time equal to :ref:`await_completion<class_BTPlayAnimation_property_await_completion>`.

Returns ``SUCCESS`` if the animation finishes playing or if the elapsed time exceeds :ref:`await_completion<class_BTPlayAnimation_property_await_completion>`. When :ref:`await_completion<class_BTPlayAnimation_property_await_completion>` is set to ``0``, BTPlayAnimation doesn't wait for the animation to finish and immediately returns ``SUCCESS``.

Returns ``RUNNING`` if the animation is still playing and the elapsed time is less than :ref:`await_completion<class_BTPlayAnimation_property_await_completion>`.

Returns ``FAILURE`` if the action fails to play the requested animation.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_BTPlayAnimation_property_animation_name:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

``StringName`` **animation_name** = ``&""`` :ref:`🔗<class_BTPlayAnimation_property_animation_name>`

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- |void| **set_animation_name**\ (\ value\: ``StringName``\ )
- ``StringName`` **get_animation_name**\ (\ )

Animation's key within the ``AnimationPlayer`` node. If empty, BTPlayAnimation will resume the last played animation if the ``AnimationPlayer`` was previously paused.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

.. _class_BTPlayAnimation_property_animation_player:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`BBNode<class_BBNode>` **animation_player** :ref:`🔗<class_BTPlayAnimation_property_animation_player>`

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- |void| **set_animation_player**\ (\ value\: :ref:`BBNode<class_BBNode>`\ )
- :ref:`BBNode<class_BBNode>` **get_animation_player**\ (\ )

Parameter that specifies the ``AnimationPlayer`` node.

.. _class_BTPlayAnimation_property_await_completion:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

``float`` **await_completion** = ``0.0`` :ref:`🔗<class_BTPlayAnimation_property_await_completion>`

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- |void| **set_await_completion**\ (\ value\: ``float``\ )
- ``float`` **get_await_completion**\ (\ )

The maximum duration to wait for the animation to complete (in seconds). If the animation doesn't finish within this time, BTPlayAnimation will stop waiting and return ``SUCCESS``.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_BTPlayAnimation_property_blend:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

``float`` **blend** = ``-1.0`` :ref:`🔗<class_BTPlayAnimation_property_blend>`

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- |void| **set_blend**\ (\ value\: ``float``\ )
- ``float`` **get_blend**\ (\ )

Custom blend time (in seconds). See :ref:`AnimationPlayer.play<class_AnimationPlayer_method_play>`.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_BTPlayAnimation_property_from_end:

``bool`` **from_end** = ``false`` :ref:`🔗<class_BTPlayAnimation_property_from_end>`

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- |void| **set_from_end**\ (\ value\: ``bool``\ )
- ``bool`` **get_from_end**\ (\ )

Play animation from the end. Used in combination with negative :ref:`speed<class_BTPlayAnimation_property_speed>` to play animation in reverse. See :ref:`AnimationPlayer.play<class_AnimationPlayer_method_play>`.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_BTPlayAnimation_property_speed:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

``float`` **speed** = ``1.0`` :ref:`🔗<class_BTPlayAnimation_property_speed>`

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- |void| **set_speed**\ (\ value\: ``float``\ )
- ``float`` **get_speed**\ (\ )

Custom playback speed scaling ratio. See :ref:`AnimationPlayer.play<class_AnimationPlayer_method_play>`.

.. |virtual| replace:: :abbr:`virtual (This method should typically be overridden by the user to have any effect.)`
.. |const| replace:: :abbr:`const (This method has no side effects. It doesn't modify any of the instance's member variables.)`
.. |vararg| replace:: :abbr:`vararg (This method accepts any number of arguments after the ones described here.)`
.. |constructor| replace:: :abbr:`constructor (This method is used to construct a type.)`
.. |static| replace:: :abbr:`static (This method doesn't need an instance to be called, so it can be called directly using the class name.)`
