FCurveKey.Time

Description

Sets or returns the time (in frames) of the fcurve key. The fcurve key time in frames is returned as a double (VT_R8) (see Variant).

Setting the key time results in the key being moved in time. If the fcurve is a standard fcurve then the tangents are automatically adjusted.

C# Syntax

// get accessor
Object rtn = FCurveKey.Time;
// set accessor
FCurveKey.Time = Object;

Examples

1. JScript Example

/*
	This example illustrates how to set a fcurve key's time by creating a null with 
	its local.posx parameter driven by an fcurve 
*/
NewScene( null, false );
// Create a null
var n = Application.ActiveSceneRoot.AddNull();
// Get the posx parameter
var posx = n.posx;
// Create an fcurve on posx
var fc = posx.AddFCurve();
// Define some keys
var keyvalues = new Array( 0,0, 50,25, 100,50 );
// Set the keys
fc.SetKeys( keyvalues );
// Get 2nd key and set the key time
var fckey = fc.Keys(1);
Application.LogMessage( "fckey.Time before = " + fckey.Time );
fckey.Time = 51;
Application.LogMessage( "fckey.Time after = " + fckey.Time );
// Expected results:
//INFO : fckey.Time before = 50
//INFO : fckey.Time after = 51
