So, I have a .glb file and when I open it in the Sandbox, there is a drop-down list in which about 5 actions are there. But when I open the glb via Babylon.js on a website, only 1st action is being played, on a loop. How can I run all the actions which is in the Blender file(.glb)?

Hello,

There are several ways.

* * *

For example you can use

```auto
const anim = scene.getAnimationGroupByName("Annimation Name");
anim.start(params)

```

To select an animation and play it at any moment.  
Have a look at this [Playground](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#Z6SWJU#5)

* * *

Also a usefull trigger is :

```auto
anim_0.onAnimationGroupEndObservable.add(function() {
    anim_1.start(params)
})

```

Where you trigger `anim_1` when `anim_0` ends, etc…

Alright, many thanks. But when I’m playing the 2nd action, 1st action is playing alongside with the 2nd one. Is there a way each animation is played after the previous one ended? Like when 1st ends, 2nd starts.

You can stop the first one using `animationGroup.stop()`, or prevent it from looping by setting `loopAnimation` to be false (on the animation you have referenced)

Thank you so much. It worked!!! And how can I turn off the first animation, like I can switch the isEnabled in the debugLayer and it works but when I click on the “Copy to clipboard” and paste it, it is coming as ‘undefined’. How can I disable the first animation?

</div>

you can call `scene.stopAllAnimations()` on model-loaded to stop any animation running. would that do the job?

Ok, so implemented that and working when I don’t need any animations running. And for to disabling the specific animation, I used the scene.getNodeByName(“Animation Name”).setEnabled(false);

Many thanks!!!
