# Animator

![](/files/-MW4sDG68NAPX1JF97R5)

This script gives us the option to use procedural animation instead of keyframe animations to control the traps. By changing the parameters, you can achieve many different results.

* **Play Mode:** the animation can happen only once, or continuously (Loop). 
* **Cooldown:** how many seconds before the animation starts over when set to Loop. 0 means instant.

### **Loop Settings**

This section only available if you selected the Loop play mode. You can control how to use a loop in this mechanism.

* **Loop Mode:** *Repeat* is the standard loop mode. In the case of *Ping-Pong,* the loop goes back and forth.
* **Duration:** how many seconds to finish one loop.
* **Curve:** you can customize the movement dynamic with this curve.
* **Different Reverse (only in Ping Pong mode):** Enabling this option allows you to set different duration and curves when the loop goes backward.

### **Animator Settings**

* **Translate:** the script moves the game object between the start position and the end position. This movement is relative to the anchor transform (Local Space).

* **Rotate:** the script rotates the game object by the given angle over the time of the duration, around the given axis, in local space.
