SaveActionKey

Description

Saves a key frame into an action. There must be only one action item active at the specified (global) time, and that item must correspond to an fcurve. The tolerance argument can be used to merge all keys within a certain range. The range is defined as Frame - Tolerance and Frame + Tolerance. The merged key will inherit the constraints of the nearest key within this range.

Scripting Syntax

    SaveActionKey( [InputObjs], [Time], [Value], [Tolerance] )
