动作约束¶
The Action constraint evaluates the location, rotation, and scale inside a certain Action at a certain frame, then applies those to an object or bone.
The frame can either be given directly, or it can be derived from a location coordinate, rotation angle, or scale factor of another object or bone. An example of the latter would be to use frame 0 of the Action if an Empty is at X = 0 and frame 100 if the Empty is at X = 10. If the Empty is then placed at X = 5, the constraint will interpolate this and evaluate frame 50.

The 复制变换约束 may be a sufficient replacement if the Action is very simple.
Drivers allow defining more complex mathematical relationships, again without setting up an Action.
An alternative (if obscure) way of using this constraint is to reference an Action that animates properties of other constraints. The Action constraint will then apply these properties to the constraints that come after it, as long as their names match the ones in the Action.
选项¶
动作约束。¶
- 目标
The object or bone to use for calculating the Action frame. Not needed if Evaluation Time is used.
- 估算时刻
Allows specifying the Action frame through a number rather than through a transform property of a Target. A value of 0 corresponds to Frame Start while 1 corresponds to Frame End (see below).
Like other properties, the Evaluation Time can be fixed, keyframed, or controlled by a Driver. The latter can further make use of Custom Properties.
- 混合
Specifies how the evaluated Action transformation is combined with the owner's original transformation (from its preceding constraints).
- 替换:
The Action's transformation replaces the owner's.
- 初始前（完整）:
The Action's transformation is applied before the owner's. The result is the same as the owner's transformation if it were a child of the Action and there was no constraint.
If the "parent" is non-uniformly scaled and the "child" was originally rotated, the constraint will cause shearing, just like the default Inherit Scale Full setting for bones.
- 初始前（对齐）:
Prevents shearing by scaling the "child" along its own axes instead of the axes of the "parent," just like the Inherit Scale Aligned setting for bones.
- 初始前（拆分通道）:
Calculates each transform "channel" -- location, rotation, and scale -- separately from the others. The difference with Before Original (Aligned) is that the child's location is only affected by the parent's location, not by its rotation and scale.
- 初始后（完整/对齐/拆分通道）:
Like Before Original, except the result is the transformation of the Action if it were a child of the owner.

The page of the 复制变换约束 demonstrates the Mix modes with screenshots.
Warning
For technical reasons, modes other than After Original (Full) and After Original (Aligned) may not work as expected on objects (not bones) without a parent.
- 影响
How strongly the constraint affects the owner.
目标¶
- 通道
The transform property (location/rotation/scale) and axis to use for calculating the Action frame.
- 目标
The space in which to evaluate the above Channel.
- 范围下限/上限
The values of the Channel that correspond to Frame Start/End. Despite the names, Range Max is allowed to be less than Range Min.
Warning
Target rotations are "wrapped around" so they're always in the range -180° to 180°.
Negative scales don't work (they are treated as positive scales instead).
动作¶
- 动作
要使用的动作。
- 槽
动作中要使用的槽。
- 物体动作 仅限骨骼约束
By default, the constraint finds Action keyframes for a bone with the same name. Checking Object Action will use the Action's object keyframes instead.
The opposite -- applying a bone animation to a constrained object -- is not supported. Neither is applying all bone animations in an Action to all bones in an Armature.
- 帧起始/结束
The frames within the Action that correspond to Range Min/Max. Frame End is allowed to be less than Frame Start -- this will play the animation in reverse.
