imported 3D model with 50secs of different animations all stored consecutively along the time line

dax-trajero

The model is from a site like Turbosquid. It mentions the various animations like this

jump, frames 10-50 run, frames, 51-100 etc

when imported into Godot, the animation player doesn't mention 'jump', 'run' etc - if I press play, it runs through all the animations one after the other along a time line

my question is, how can I separate these out into individual animations which I can call within code?

Is the model in glTF format, Collada (.dae) or FBX?

dax-trajero

it's a collada .dae

I'm not that familiar with animation player but I'm wondering if I can select say frames 51-100 and paste them into a new animation within animation player?

here's an image of the animation player - all animations belong on the horizontal time line

as a newbie does Godot let me set an arbitrary start / end point along that horizontal and copy to a new animation? I've tried shift+click but I can't seem to highlight a selection of say 51secs - 100secs?

Hello, I haven't tried yet but from doc

It is possible to specify multiple animations from a single timeline as clips. For this to work, the model must have only one animation that is named default. To create clips, change the clip amount to something greater than zero. You can then name a clip, specify which frames it starts and stops on, and choose whether the animation loops or not.

also if model was from Blender:

Blender has built-in COLLADA support, but it does not work properly for the needs of game engines and should not be used as is.

perfect - thank you so much!

all animations in and working perfectly

absolutely loving Godot - thank you to all the team!
