GameObjectRecorder

class in UnityEditor.Experimental.Animations

/

Inherits from:Object

Description

Records the changing properties of a GameObject as the Scene runs and saves the information into an AnimationClip.

This class binds GameObject properties, records their values as they change in the running Scene, and saves the result in an AnimationClip. The recorded GameObject is called root in the class, and you can also bind the properties of any child of root.

See the following code example on how this class can be implemented and to set what gets recorded.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEditor.Experimental.Animations;

public class RecordTransformHierarchy : MonoBehaviour { public AnimationClip clip; public bool record = false;

private GameObjectRecorder m_Recorder;

void Start() { m_Recorder = new GameObjectRecorder(); m_Recorder.root = gameObject;

m_Recorder.BindComponent<Transform>(gameObject, true); }

void LateUpdate() { if (clip == null) return;

if (record) { m_Recorder.TakeSnapshot(Time.deltaTime); } else if (m_Recorder.isRecording) { m_Recorder.SaveToClip(clip); m_Recorder.ResetRecording(); } } }
