Animation of dynamic positions

Questions
1

Hi,

I wanted to interpolate some dynamically generated positions but it seems like this method is a bit dated compared to the robust-looking animation system in place.

Is there an example where an animation keeps getting added into the keys to continue the animation on?
Lets say a new position is generated, and we want the object to continue its animation without stopping, how does this work in a system where you are using functions to start and stop an animation from and to a specific frame.

eg: var anim = scene.beginAnimation(box1, 0, 100, false);

The scenario would go

Object has a list of positions to go to, object goes to penultimate position but 5 more positions are generated, without stopping, I want it to continue and keep playing the position changes.

Feelign a bit stumped, thanks

Interpolating beteen values never gets dated; the animation system just makes it easier to have keyframes. If you don’t care about the history of the animation, adding keyframes would only unnecessarily spend memory.

Thanks the example looks like what I need. I will look at using the animation keyframes for simpler animations.
