CompositeValueCurve

Inherits from: Instance → Object

An animation curve that groups child FloatCurves which each animate a different component of a non-unary value. The CurveType property specifies the type of value to be animated and, depending on this value, differently named children are used to drive the animation of the components of the value.

As follows are the names of the child curves that drive the animation for each possible CompositeValueCurveType value for CurveType:

The children that drive the animation can be accessed via the GetComponentCurves() method which returns an array of curves in the order specified above. The value of the curve at a given time in the animation may be sampled by the GetValueAtTime() method.

CompositeValueCurve:GetComponentCurves

This method returns the child curves with the given names for the CurveType of this CompositeValueCurve, in the order given by the list of child curves outlined at the top of this page. Any curve that does not exist prior to calling this method will be created and added as a child with the appropriate name. That new curve will be an empty FloatCurve.

Returns

TypeDescription
ListAn array of the child FloatCurve instances that drive the components of the animated value, in the order listed at the top of this page. Any expected child curve that does not yet exist is created as an empty FloatCurve and included in the result.
FieldValue
securityNone
thread safetyUnsafe
capabilities["Basic"]

CompositeValueCurve:GetValueAtTime

This method returns the sampled animated value at the passed time argument. The type of the returned value will match that specified by the CurveType property.

If any child curve is missing from the children of the curve, the corresponding value in the returned property will be 0. For example, if a curve has a CurveType of CompositeValueCurveType.ColorRGB but only one FloatCurve child named "G", then the returned FloatCurve will have values of 0 for "R" and "B", but the "G" value will be sampled from the child curve.

Parameters

NameTypeDefaultDescription
timefloatTime at which to get the value.

Returns

TypeDescription
VariantThe value of the curve at the passed time.
