KeyframeSequenceProvider
The KeyframeSequenceProvider service provides functions to load and preview KeyframeSequences. It includes a number of functions that are useful when working with Animations.
A KeyframeSequence stores a series of Poses that encode the hierarchy and motion of an animation. The animation data Roblox uses in the playback of an animation, referenced by the Animation.AnimationId property, can be constructed from a KeyframeSequence. KeyframeSequences are usually created by the Roblox Animation Editor but can be created through other plugins or even manually.
Code Samples
This code sample contains a simple function to generate an Animation with a generated hash ID to preview a KeyframeSequence locally.
local KeyframeSequenceProvider = game:GetService("KeyframeSequenceProvider")
local function createPreviewAnimation(keyframeSequence)
local hashId = KeyframeSequenceProvider:RegisterKeyframeSequence(keyframeSequence)
local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
Animation.AnimationId = hashId
return Animation
end
local keyframeSequence = Instance.new("KeyframeSequence")
local animation = createPreviewAnimation(keyframeSequence)
print(animation)Summary
Methods
This function returns an InventoryPages object which can be used to iterate over animations owned by a specific user.
Returns a KeyframeSequence based on the specified assetId asynchronously.
Generates a temporary asset ID from a KeyframeSequence that can be used for localized testing of an animation. Generates an active:// URL.
Generates a temporary asset ID from a KeyframeSequence that can be used for localized testing of an animation. Generates a hash.
