Saves key frames on parameters at a given frame. When you invoke this command on a parameter not
already driven by an FCurve, a new FCurve is automatically created.
The tolerance argument can be used to merge all keys within a certain range. The range is
defined as Frame - Tolerance and Frame + Tolerance. The merged key will inherit the constraints
of the nearest key within this range.
SaveKey( [InputObjs], [Time], [Value], [Tolerance], [Layer], [ModifiedOnly], [AutokeyScope] ); |
| Parameter | Type | Description | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| InputObjs | String |
List of animatable parameters (for example "cone*/kine.local.pos"). Default Value:
If no argument is specified, the current marking
is used. |
||||||||
| Time | Double |
Frame at which to set the key. Default Value: If no argument is specified, the current frame is used. |
||||||||
| Value | Number |
Key frame values. Default Value: Parameter values at current frame. |
||||||||
| Tolerance | Double |
Frame tolerance Default Value: Nearest 0.5 frame (-1)
|
||||||||
| Layer | Integer |
Animation layer to set keys on Default Value: Current animation layer (-1) |
||||||||
| ModifiedOnly | Boolean |
If true keys will only be set for parameters that have been modified at the current frame Default Value: False |
||||||||
| AutokeyScope | Integer |
Specifies whether keys will be set on all parameters or only those with existing fcurves or keys. Default Value: All specified parameters (0)
