Track System
The Animations block allows you to create an animation that can involve one or more simple animations, using the available Animation Blocks.
Each Animation Block has a Track number. Animations blocks that have the same track can be played in a sequence (one after the other), while Animations blocks with different tracks can be played simultaneously. The blocks with the same track number are highlighted with the same color to the left of the block.
Wait
The Wait block allows you to set a waiting time before continuing with step actions.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Duration | Displays the duration of the wait block (in sec.). |
| Curve | Displays the block animation curve. |
| Track | Displays the track number of the Animation block. Animations blocks that have the same track can be played in a sequence or one after the other, while Animations blocks with different tracks can be played simultaneously. The blocks with the same track number are highlighted with the same color to the left of the block. |
Delta Move
The Delta Move block allows you to set a free delta movement of an object, translation, rotation, and scale of the object.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Duration | Displays the duration of the wait block (in sec.). |
| Curve | Displays the block animation curve. |
| Track | Displays the track number of the Animation block (see Wait animation). |
| Input From | References the block target in different ways according to the indicated setting: Self = the target is set manually and individually. From Previous = the target is set automatically according to the previous block target, no matter of the track number. From Previous in Track = the target is set automatically according to the previous block target having the same track. From Block Index = the target is set automatically according to the block number indicated (a number list appears to the right of the setting). |
