afEaseInTime?

afEaseInTime: The amount of time to take to ease-in the animation, in seconds.

I've been playing around with this in container scripts that are used in conjunction with storage hubs between player homes. I found out that most of the time, this parameter interferes with sound synchronization. For some containers like NobleChestDrawers, it is somewhat mandatory else the animation would be rendered completely in a snap, instead of the intended animation timing. For some others like the CommonWardrobe, it makes sound vs animation asynchronus - a solution is to not use afEaseInTime, and follow the PlayGamebryoAnimation instruction with a Utility.Wait(x.xx). Usually around 0.3 for close animations and between 0.5 to 1.0 for open animations.

My question in regards to the above quote : what is exactly doing an animation "easing-in" itself? What is the effect of this parameter? --HawkFest (talk) 2013-04-06T16:12:50 (EDT)
