Skeleton3D ​
Inherits: Node3D < Node < Object
A node containing a bone hierarchy, used to create a 3D skeletal animation.
Description
Skeleton3D provides an interface for managing a hierarchy of bones, including pose, rest and animation (see Animation). It can also use ragdoll physics.
The overall transform of a bone with respect to the skeleton is determined by bone pose. Bone rest defines the initial transform of the bone pose.
Note that "global pose" below refers to the overall transform of the bone with respect to skeleton, so it is not the actual global/world transform of the bone.

Methods
Signals
bone_enabled_changed(bone_idx: int) 🔗
Emitted when the bone at bone_idx is toggled with set_bone_enabled. Use is_bone_enabled to check the new value.
bone_list_changed() 🔗
There is currently no description for this signal. Please help us by Contributing to the class reference!
pose_updated() 🔗
Emitted when the pose is updated.
Note: During the update process, this signal is not fired, so modification by SkeletonModifier3D is not detected.
show_rest_only_changed() 🔗
Emitted when the value of show_rest_only changes.
skeleton_updated() 🔗
Emitted when the final pose has been calculated will be applied to the skin in the update process.
This means that all SkeletonModifier3D processing is complete. In order to detect the completion of the processing of each SkeletonModifier3D, use SkeletonModifier3D.modification_processed.
Enumerations
enum ModifierCallbackModeProcess: 🔗
ModifierCallbackModeProcess MODIFIER_CALLBACK_MODE_PROCESS_PHYSICS = 0
Set a flag to process modification during physics frames (see Node.NOTIFICATION_INTERNAL_PHYSICS_PROCESS).
ModifierCallbackModeProcess MODIFIER_CALLBACK_MODE_PROCESS_IDLE = 1
Set a flag to process modification during process frames (see Node.NOTIFICATION_INTERNAL_PROCESS).
Constants
NOTIFICATION_UPDATE_SKELETON = 50 🔗
Notification received when this skeleton's pose needs to be updated. In that case, this is called only once per frame in a deferred process.
Property Descriptions
bool animate_physical_bones = true 🔗
Deprecated: This property may be changed or removed in future versions.
If you follow the recommended workflow and explicitly have PhysicalBoneSimulator3D as a child of Skeleton3D, you can control whether it is affected by raycasting without running physical_bones_start_simulation, by its SkeletonModifier3D.active.
However, for old (deprecated) configurations, Skeleton3D has an internal virtual PhysicalBoneSimulator3D for compatibility. This property controls the internal virtual PhysicalBoneSimulator3D's SkeletonModifier3D.active.
ModifierCallbackModeProcess modifier_callback_mode_process = 1 🔗
void set_modifier_callback_mode_process(value: ModifierCallbackModeProcess)
ModifierCallbackModeProcess get_modifier_callback_mode_process()
Sets the processing timing for the Modifier.
Multiplies the 3D position track animation.
Note: Unless this value is 1.0, the key value in animation will not match the actual position value.
bool show_rest_only = false 🔗
If true, forces the bones in their default rest pose, regardless of their values. In the editor, this also prevents the bones from being edited.
Method Descriptions
int add_bone(name: String) 🔗
Adds a new bone with the given name. Returns the new bone's index, or -1 if this method fails.
Note: Bone names should be unique, non empty, and cannot include the : and / characters.

Deprecated: This method may be changed or removed in future versions.
Removes the global pose override on all bones in the skeleton.

There is currently no description for this method. Please help us by Contributing to the class reference!

Transform3D get_bone_global_pose(bone_idx: int) const 🔗

Note: This is the global pose you set to the skeleton in the process, the final global pose can get overridden by modifiers in the deferred process, if you want to access the final global pose, use SkeletonModifier3D.modification_processed.
Transform3D get_bone_global_pose_no_override(bone_idx: int) const 🔗
Deprecated: This method may be changed or removed in future versions.
Returns the overall transform of the specified bone, with respect to the skeleton, but without any global pose overrides. Being relative to the skeleton frame, this is not the actual "global" transform of the bone.

Returns the name of the bone at index bone_idx.
int get_bone_parent(bone_idx: int) const 🔗
Returns the bone index which is the parent of the bone at bone_idx. If -1, then bone has no parent.
Note: The parent bone returned will always be less than bone_idx.
Transform3D get_bone_pose(bone_idx: int) const 🔗
Returns the pose transform of the specified bone.
Note: This is the pose you set to the skeleton in the process, the final pose can get overridden by modifiers in the deferred process, if you want to access the final pose, use SkeletonModifier3D.modification_processed.
Vector3 get_bone_pose_position(bone_idx: int) const 🔗
Returns the pose position of the bone at bone_idx. The returned Vector3 is in the local coordinate space of the Skeleton3D node.

void set_bone_global_pose(bone_idx: int, pose: Transform3D) 🔗
Sets the global pose transform, pose, for the bone at bone_idx.
Note: If other bone poses have been changed, this method executes a dirty poses recalculation and will cause performance to deteriorate. If you know that multiple global poses will be applied, consider using set_bone_pose with precalculation.

amount is the interpolation strength that will be used when applying the pose, and persistent determines if the applied pose will remain.
Note: The pose transform needs to be a global pose! To convert a world transform from a Node3D to a global bone pose, multiply the Transform3D.affine_inverse of the node's Node3D.global_transform by the desired world transform.
