Change start position of animation

Question

Hey.

I want to change the start position of an animation per script.
I can not find a function for that.

Can someone help me?
thank you

Answer 1

It sounds like the seek method would do the trick.

Example
var start_position_seconds = 0.0
var animation = get_node("AnimationPlayer")
animation.play("your_animation")
animation.seek(start_position_seconds, true)

Do note, that in the example above, we set "true" in animation.seek(startpositionseconds, true). This is because our example here is an animation that we only run once and thus need to restart it.

Thank you.
I had to switch the lines to get it work.

animation.play("anim")
animation.seek(start_pos, true)
