Is there a way to automate the anim.drive.

For example. When I press w => forward 'zoom' instead of doing this linear smoothly, it should 'jump' to a certain point forward in a faster pace.

Ok I've found out how to do this with the anim-drive zqdw transformation controls.

If I want to attach new key commands in the ui of anim drive, how do I do this for mouse click and for arrow key commands?

Ok I've found out how to do this with the anim-drive zqdw transformation controls. 

it's in the jit.anim.drive ref file, in the Discussion section:

"UI mapping of key and mouse input is facilitated by editing the ui-map dictionary. Key input is mapped alpha-numeric keys and arrow keys (using up, down, left and right instead of the key symbol). Mouse mapping looks for the following dictionary entries:

Horizontal: mouse_horizontal, mouse_h, mouse_x

Horizontal with button down: mouse_down_horizontal, mouse_down_h, mouse_down_x

Vertical: mouse_vertical, mouse_v, mouse_y

Vertical with button down: mouse_down_vertical, mouse_down_v, mouse_down_y

UI input can be mapped to move , turn and grow messages."

Where's the discussion section? How can I not find it. I find discussion post on the forum but that's it.

do you have the jit.anim.drive reference page open? the Discussion section is just below the Description and Snippets section.

Ok! :'( silly me that I didn't see it between the reference...

I need to know the position I've got now.

meaning this is the position I went to with mouse and cursors. And I want to make a moveto message that I can go to this specific spot. (could be anywhere = viewpoint in the 3d world.)

this is the info I have printed from the getstate in jit.anim.node

i'm not sure what you're asking. send getpostion to jit.anim.node to get its @position attribute values out the dump outlet. jit.anim.drive also has a position attribute, used when animating via the moveto and springto messages.

jit.anim.drive + jit.handle - scripting anim.drive
