Animation Patch
Use the Animation patch to drive an animation triggered by an Interaction patch or logic that plays once.
To drive animations that play on a loop, use the Loop Animation patch.
Input
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Play | Depending on how you want the animation to be triggered, connect an Interaction patch or logic to this input. |
Reverse | If you want the animation to play in reverse when triggered, connect an Interaction patch or logic to this input. |
Reset | If you want the effect to reset when the animation finishes, connect an Interaction patch or logic to this input with either the Play or Reverse inputs. |

To slow down the animation, enter a number above 1, with 10,000 seconds representing the slowest speed. To speed up the animation, enter a number below 1, with 0.001 seconds representing the fastest speed. |
Output

Completed | Depending on how you connect this output, you can make something happen when the animation is complete like playing an audio file or showing a message. |

In the example below, we see an animation when the screen is tapped.
To trigger the animation with a screen tap, we connected the Tap output on the Screen Tap patch to the Play input on the Animation patch.
