Hi there,

can someone give me a hint, how i can change the starting time of an objects keyframe animation?
say, i have created some clones and the original object has a keyframe animation. now every clone plays synchronous, but i want to be able to set an offset so each clone plays at a different start time.

thank you very much for any input on this...

cheers,
ello

You have to manually shift the keys. For instance with CKey::SetTime.

thanks for your input, matthias.

so basically i would use the following procedure, did i understand that right?

I use GetFirstCTrack to get the first track. Now i need to cycle thru all CTracks with GetNext() and there i need to do the following for each and everything that is found?

CTrack->GetCurve
CCurve->GetKeyCount
cycle thru the keys and use
CKey->SetTime (using old Time + offset)

is this the way it works?

cheers,
