    Hello, I’m wondering what method I should be using in order to play an animation of an object with code. After learning about the runCode function, I’ve been able to do other things to objects like change their position, material, and switch cameras; however, I haven’t yet found the right method to use in order to play an animation this way. My resource for seeing what methods/properties are available is found here:

    I noticed that the doc says to not change the .animate method unless you know what you’re doing so I don’t think that’s the one I’m looking for, but I could be wrong

    function runCode(app) {
  const action = v3d.SceneUtils.getAnimationActionByName(app, 'farmer_mesh');
  action.play();
}

    Puzzles and JS. Fast and expensive.

    If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of meaning at all.

    Thanks, I got it to work with that code. I had to use the reset method before using the play method to have it run

    you can stop all actions before running the chosen one
    app.mixer.stopAllAction();

    Puzzles and JS. Fast and expensive.
