Switch animation keys using property

[AlexKiryanov]

Hello @rodlie ! Here’s the question. Suppose I have a rectangle with keys in position property.
Frame 1 one x,y, frame 2 other x,y frame 3 other x,y
There is also a control object with property(numeric field.) in the scene.
Can I switch the numbers in the property of the control object, switch keys in the rectangle animation.
Number 1 animation keys from the first frame
Number 2 animation keys from second frame
Number 3 animation keys from the third frame
and so on
I hope I made my point correctly.

Nice to see the legend(Alexander Kiryanov) of enve and friction on here.

Umm, let me try to understand your question: you want to have some kind of switch (you don't specify how are you going to set it or animate it but I guess at this point it's not important) to control the position of an object based on positions saved on another object along different keyframes, right?
If that's correct then I bet the answer is not, you cannot do it as there is no any function (yet) that lets you grab a value from another time/frame and use it on the actual frame you want. It's a request some users have done (including me) to add a valueOnTime() or something like that.

But, if you don't mind having those positions written into an expression that switches them controlled by, for instance, a "custom property", then it's possible to do it. Here you have an example (switch_v01.friction.zip).

Hi! Thank you very much for your reply!
I have looked at your file, unfortunately it is not what I wanted. In your file you write the position value, and then switch these position values according to the property value.
I need to switch exactly keys, that is, I created position keys for the object, then with the help of the switch property. these keys.
Something like time-remapping function with controller

Then I'm lost, I don't understand what do you want to do... could you maybe tell us what other software offers that feature and could you show us it in action?

Thanks

Hi!
Something like this.
Here I control the time remapping function through a property in object CC.
Your idea basically works too, but one minus I have to enter the exact coordinates where I want to move my object. It’s the way out, but I had an idea how to switch between keys without using the time remapping function

Like in the terrible After Effects.

Can I ask a question. How do I get properties from other scenes?
Well, suppose I have to control one object with another object that is in another scene.
Example:
In Scene 1 I give the object an expression for position.
my_var x = Scene02.CC_object.transform.translation.x;
But this option for some reason does not work....

@rodlie Hi! Maybe you know how to take variables from another scene?
