Creates an Animation within the AnimationGroup.

animation = AnimationGroup:CreateAnimation([animationType, name, inheritsFrom])

Arguments

animationType

string - Type of the animation to create, one of: Animation (default), Translation, Rotation, Alpha, Scale, ControlPoints and Path

name

string - Desired global name that will be assigned as _G[name], or nil to avoid creating a global reference

inheritsFrom

string - Comma-separated list of names of XML animation templates to inherit from

Returns

animation

Animation - The created animation widget.

Notes

• The animation will act on the Region who is the AnimationGroup's parent.
• It appears that all animations involving moving a PlayerModel will fail silently. Alpha animations are the only animation type which will have any effect on these frames.

Patch changes

• Patch 3.1.0 (2009-04-14): Added.
