queue() (3D)

Syntax

member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).bonesPlayer.queue\

(motionName {, looped, startTime, endTime, scale, offset})

member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).keyframePlayer.\

queue(motionName {, looped, startTime, endTime, scale, offset})

Description

3D keyframePlayer and bonesPlayer modi fier command; adds the motio n specified by motionName

to the end of the modifier’s playList property. The motion is executed by the model when all the

motions ahead of it in the playlist are finished playing.

The optional parameters of this command are as follows:

looped specifies whether the motion plays once (FALSE) or continuously (TRUE).

startTime is measured in milliseconds from the beginning of the motion. When looped is FALSE,

the motion begins at

offset and ends at endTime. When looped is TRUE, the first iteration of the

loop begins at offset and ends at endTime. All subsequent repetitions begin at startTime and end

endTime.

endTime is measured in milliseconds from the beginning of the motion. When looped is FALSE, the

motion begins at

offset and ends at endTime. When looped is TRUE, the first iteration of the loop

begins at

offset and ends at endTime. All subsequent repetitions begin at cropStart and end at

endTime. Set endTime to -1 if you want the motion to play to the end.

scale is mult ip li e d by t he playRate pr operty of the m od el’s keyframePlayer modifier or bonesPlayer

modifier to determine the actual speed of the motion’s playback.

offset is measured in milliseconds from the beginning of the motion. When looped is FALSE,

the motion begins at offset and ends at endTime. When looped is TRUE, the first iteration of the

loop begins at

offset and ends at endTime. All subsequent repetitions begin at startTime and

end at

endTime.

Example

The following Lingo adds the motion named Fall to the end of the bonesPlayer playlist of the

model named Walker. When all motions before Fall in the playlist have been executed, Fall will

play one time from beginning to end.

sprite(1).member.model("Walker").bonesPlayer.queue\

("Fall", 0, 0, -1, 1, 0)

The following Lingo adds the motion named Kick to the end of the bonesPlayer playlist of the

model named Walker. When all motions before Kick in the playlist have been executed, a section

of Kick will play in a continuous loop. The first iteration of the loop will begin 2000 milliseconds

from the motion’s beginning. All subsequent iterations of the loop will begin 1000 milliseconds

from Kick’s beginning and will end 5000 milliseconds from Kick’s beginning. The rate of

playback will be three times the

playRate property of the model’s bonesPlayer modifier.

sprite(1).member.model("Walker").bonesPlayer.queue("Kick", 1, \

1000, 5000, 3, 2000)
