Play Animation

Plays a keyframed clip on an object — the bridge from an event into an authored animation. Wire an On Click to it and a door opens for everybody who sees it clicked.

Output: none (it acts on the object).

Inputs

Handle	Type	Meaning
trigger	event	each pulse performs the action — wire On Click, Key Press, Timer or Animation Finished here

Parameters

Parameter	Default	Options
clip	(first clip)	which clip to drive — leave empty for the object's active one
action	toggle	toggle, play, stop, restart
speed	1	playback rate (0.1–4×); it changes the clip's data not at all

toggle is the one you want for a door: the first pulse plays it forward, the next plays it backwards to shut it again.

Which object?

Inside an object flow the node targets that flow's own object, so a door's graph needs no wiring at all. In the scene graph, or to drive something else, connect an Object Selector.

It also drives clips a model was imported with, not only ones you keyed yourself.

Practical example

A door anyone can open:

1. Give the door a clip (a rot.y channel from 0 to 90°, with its origin on the hinge).
2. In the door's object flow, add On Click → Play Animation, action toggle.
3. Click the door. It swings open on every peer at the same moment; click again and it shuts.

Tip

Chain Animation Finished out of the same clip to fire a latch sound, start the next door, or count how many times it has been opened.
