Hi,

it is not possible to update the position of an animation controller or a scenedirector clip with the

xpAnimController.Position

or

xpSceneDirectorClip.Position

command from within a script.

Please could you fix this as soon as possible as we have to use this commands to control our recent show tomorrow.

Please could you also implement a new command to delete a scenedirector clip (e.g. it is not possible to delete a material clip from within a script). We could not find such a command in the SDK help (whereas the delitition of an animation controller is possible with the xpAnimController.delete command)

With high hopes ;-) and best regards

Hi Sefa,

xpAnimController.Position or xpSceneDirectorClip.Position sets the Position within the AnimController/Clip if the Scenedirector is not playing or the track where the object is on is disabled.

A command corresponding to xpAnimController.Delete for clips on a scenedirector is really missing,

and the possibility to reposition AnimControllers/clips on the timeline would be great.

And there is a strange behaviour if you delete AnimControllers containing keyframes from the scenedirector timeline manually and then create a new one with the same name. If you try to receive this new animcontroller via API by name it seems that you sometimes get the old (deleted) one. May it be that the old one only is deleted from the timeline but internally in the scene it further exists?

Kind regards,

Deleting an anim controller from the scene director does not actually delete it (because you can have the same anim controller on the scene director multiple times, or in multiple scene directors) You need to delete it from the "Animation Controllers" tab to delete it from the overall scene.

Thank you Brian!

I'm using Xpression for 5years now and never noticed this tab!

Please forward this to the Developer-Team.

Edit: How do I quote here?

It really would be great to be able to move the position of an animation controller within a scenedirector.
The workaround I'm using now is to enable/disable a scenedirector track. However that leaves me with numerous animation controllers and tracks on the scenedirector which are basically doing the same thing but at different times. :)
