Interpolate

Overview

The Interpolate Node.

The Interpolate Node calculates intermediate values between an initial and a target value over a set amount of time. It is particularly useful for animations.

Scope: Project, Scene, Function, Prefab.

Attributes

The Interpolate Node Attributes.

Inputs

Attribute	Type	Description
Data Type	Drop-down	The numerical data type which will be interpolated.
Duration (s)	Float	The length of time between the start and end of the interpolation, if it is not provided in the Duration (s) Socket.
Interval Time (s)	Float	How frequently the interpolated value is updated and the output Pulse is triggered.
From	Defined in the Data Type Attribute	The value at the start of the interpolation, if one is not provided in the From Socket.
To	Defined in the Data Type Attribute	The value at the end of the interpolation, if one is not provided in the To Socket.

Interpolation

Attribute	Type	Description
Type	Drop-down	Method used for calculating the intermediate values.
Mode	Drop-down	Whether the interpolation will be performed once, repeated or alternated.

The following Interpolation Attributes are only available when Alternate or Repeat is the selected Mode:

Attribute	Type	Description
Count	Int	The number of times that the interpolation will be performed, if it is not provided in the Count Socket.
Infinite	Bool	Whether the interpolation will be played indefinitely (this overrides the Count Attribute).

Inputs

Input	Type	Description
Instance ID	InstanceID	The assigned Instance of an Animation Block.
Start	Pulse	Pulse to trigger the start of the interpolation.
Duration (s)	Float	The length of time between the start and end of the interpolation.
Count	Int	The number of times that the interpolation will be performed.
From	Defined in the Data Type Attribute	The value at the start of the interpolation.
To	Defined in the Data Type Attribute	The value at the end of the interpolation.
Reset	Pulse	Pulse to reset the interpolation.

Outputs

Output	Type	Description
Pulse Output (►)	Pulse	A standard Output Pulse, to move onto the next Node along the Logic Branch, once this Node has finished its execution.
Instance ID	InstanceID	The previously assigned Instance of the Animation Block.
Value	Defined in the Data Type Attribute	The intermediate value calculated.
OnStart	Pulse	Pulse that gets triggered when the interpolation starts.
OnReset	Pulse	Pulse that gets triggered when the interpolation resets.
OnEnd	Pulse	Pulse that gets triggered when the interpolation ends.
