Getting a table with all animation events from an animation

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m trying to get a table with all the animation events of an animation.
I found this code from an older post:

function module.GetAllAnimationEvents(animation : Animation)
	local markers: table = {}
	local ks: KeyframeSequence = sequenceProvider:GetKeyframeSequenceAsync(animation.AnimationId)
	local function recurse(parent: Instance): void
		for _, child in pairs(parent:GetChildren()) do
			if (child:IsA("KeyframeMarker")) then
				table.insert(markers, child)
			end
			if (#child:GetChildren() > 0) then
				recurse(child)
			end
		end
	end
	recurse(ks)

	return markers
end

But it says the sequenceProvider was deprecated. I tried using animationClipProvider but it didn’t work (it returned an empty table). Is there a method for this that isn’t deprecated or how can I make it work with animationClipProvider?

Did you try this?

This is where I got the code snippet from. As you can see, it used keyframeSequenceProvider which is now deprecated.

#4

yeah but does it work? deprecated doesn’t mean broken

#5

It says it’s very slow in the output

I’ll recommend using it and only calling it once when the game starts then storing the results in a module, to when you need the events you read the stored results.

to be honest I didn’t even know keyframeSequenceProvider exists, and was getting the events in another (weird?) way

local InsertService = game:GetService("InsertService")

function GetAnimationEvents(animID: number)
	local AnimationKeyFrames = InsertService:LoadAsset(animID)
	AnimationKeyFrames.Parent = game.ServerStorage
	
	local events = {}
	
	for i,v in AnimationKeyFrames:GetDescendants() do
		if v:IsA("KeyframeMarker") then
			local keyFrame = v.Parent
			print(keyFrame) -- !!!
			table.insert(events,v)
		end
	end
	
	print(events)	
	
	return events
end

GetAnimationEvents(14913301778)

and you can get the event time if you need it from the parent KeyFrame
