How to check if there is animation on an object?

[webley]

Hi gays!
Is there an easy way to check if there is any animation on the object (scale, position, rotation)?

check if a object has a animation?

Is there a way to check if an object hat a key frame animation on any controllers?

Mini-Challenge #5. Are you ready?

you are in very good speed and in good memory usage. i don’t think that the memory leaking is an issue of this challenge. but it’s a right practice to check the memory usage. when you call any of your functions you have to be sure that the function will complete before it eats all memory and crashes the system.

and this

Checking exist keyframe in scene

I want a section script checking exist keyframes in scene or check animation keys in scene I have a section script, this for obj in $* do ( ctrl = obj.position.controller -- just as an example rot = obj.scale.controller t = 0f k = getKeyIndex ctrl t -- returns the index of the key at time t (if there is one) l = getKeyIndex rot t if (k>0) or (l>0) then ( if queryBox "WARNING: The script found animation key and it willl clear them. Are you sure you want to continue?" beep:true then( …

I saw it, but for some reason it doesn’t work for me.
Of course I will try again, maybe I missed something

[conradbenzin]

because there was some typo

this should be ok for your needs

clearlistener()
 
(
 local aCurrentSelection = getCurrentSelection()
 for itemNode in aCurrentSelection do
 (
  local aControllers = #(itemNode.position.controller,itemNode.rotation.controller,itemNode.scale.controller)
  for itemController in aControllers do
  (
	  
   for itemKey in itemController.keys do
   (
	
	format "Name: % Key : % Time : % \n" itemNode.name itemKey itemKey.Time
	
   )
  )
 )
)

i just fixed and added name property in the format so credits to Nysuatro in the previous post

Yes, it works now, thanks a lot!
One more question, along the way,
how can i remove all animation from an object?
I tried using

for o in selection do deletekeys o #allkeys

But when keys are removed,somtimes  objects move (rotate)

[conradbenzin]

if you don’t care about modifiers, names or handles you can use this

    for o in selection  do snapshot o ; delete selection

this will copy the objects without keyframes in the current state

[webley]

if you don’t care about modifiers, names or handles you can use this

not an option,
i do care

macros.run “Animation Tools” “DeleteSelectedAnimation”

Select object/s -> Alt + RMB click -> Delete Selected Animation

Is there an easy way to check if there is any animation on the object (scale, position, rotation)?

the question is not precisely posed, and therefore it is difficult to answer it …
The point is, what counts as an animated controller … for example, is the script controller animated?

or for example an orientation constraint … it may not have keys, but is driven by an animated target

Second question: what do we want to do with this “possibly animated object”?

[webley]

I tried this
Sometimes everything is ok
Sometimes objects change position when deleted.
it looks like the objects are in the middle of the animation,
which was deleted

remove all animation keys
this is where the problem is,
have to be removed manually

[denisT]

remove all animation keys

it sounds like you already know what nodes need to be cleaned from animation. In this case it’s easier to replace transform controller with a new default instance of PRS controller:

-- let's do it for one selected node
animate off, redraw off, at time 0 
(
	tm = $.transform
	$.transform.controller = createinstance prs
	$.transform = tm
)

don’t specify the time if you want to clear the animation at the current time.
