IsNodeAnimated (X3DObject)

Description

Searches for animated parameters locally but doesn't recursively visit the children objects. The function stops as soon as an animated parameter is found. If you need to get the animated parameters from the children objects as well, use ProjectItem.AnimatedParameters2 instead.

Scripting Syntax

X3DObject.IsNodeAnimated( [sourceType], [Local] )

C# Syntax

Boolean X3DObject.IsNodeAnimated( siSourceType, Boolean );

Parameters

Parameter

Type

Description

sourceType

siSourceType

Animation source type

Default Value: siAnySource

Local

Boolean

Specifies whether the animation to check is local to the object or not. If true then all animated parameters that come from propagated properties or from intermediate nodes are ignored. Intermediate nodes are nested under the object but are not necessary owned by the object itself. For instance, the camera object nested under a Texture_Projection_Def property is not considered unless the target object is the projection property itself. When the flag is set to false (default), all parameters are considered.

Default Value: False

Return Value

Boolean (true)

Examples

VBScript Example

NewScene , false
set oRoot = Application.ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Root
set oGrid = oRoot.AddGeometry("Grid","MeshSurface")
vals = Array(0.00, 5.00, 1.00, 6.00, 2.00, 7.00, 3.00, 8.00, 4.00, 9.00, 5.00, 10.00)
set f = oGrid.posx.AddFCurve2(vals)

Application.LogMessage "IsNodeAnimated( siFCurveSource )" & oGrid.IsNodeAnimated( siFCurveSource)
