Description
-----------

Skeleton provides a hierarchical interface for managing bones, including pose, rest and animation (see :ref:`Animation<class_animation>`). Skeleton will support rag doll dynamics in the future.

Member Function Description
---------------------------

.. _class_Skeleton_add_bone:

- void  **add_bone**  **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` name  **)**

Add a bone, with name "name". :ref:`get_bone_count<class_Skeleton_get_bone_count>` will become the bone index.

.. _class_Skeleton_bind_child_node_to_bone:

- void  **bind_child_node_to_bone**  **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` bone_idx, :ref:`Node<class_node>` node  **)**

Deprecated soon.

.. _class_Skeleton_clear_bones:

- void  **clear_bones**  **(** **)**

Clear all the bones in this skeleton.

.. _class_Skeleton_find_bone:

- :ref:`int<class_int>`  **find_bone**  **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` name  **)** const

Return the bone index that matches "name" as its name.

.. _class_Skeleton_get_bone_count:

- :ref:`int<class_int>`  **get_bone_count**  **(** **)** const

Return the amount of bones in the skeleton.

.. _class_Skeleton_get_bone_custom_pose:

- :ref:`Transform<class_transform>`  **get_bone_custom_pose**  **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` bone_idx  **)** const

.. _class_Skeleton_get_bone_global_pose:

- :ref:`Transform<class_transform>`  **get_bone_global_pose**  **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` bone_idx  **)** const

.. _class_Skeleton_get_bone_name:

- :ref:`String<class_string>`  **get_bone_name**  **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` bone_idx  **)** const

Return the name of the bone at index "index"

.. _class_Skeleton_get_bone_parent:

- :ref:`int<class_int>`  **get_bone_parent**  **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` bone_idx  **)** const

Return the bone index which is the parent of the bone at "bone_idx". If -1, then bone has no parent. Note that the parent bone returned will always be less than "bone_idx".

.. _class_Skeleton_get_bone_pose:

- :ref:`Transform<class_transform>`  **get_bone_pose**  **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` bone_idx  **)** const

Return the pose transform for bone "bone_idx".

.. _class_Skeleton_get_bone_rest:

- :ref:`Transform<class_transform>`  **get_bone_rest**  **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` bone_idx  **)** const

Return the rest transform for a bone "bone_idx".

.. _class_Skeleton_get_bone_transform:

- :ref:`Transform<class_transform>`  **get_bone_transform**  **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` bone_idx  **)** const
