animation_create
Create a new animation clip in an AnimationPlayer's default library. Specify duration, loop mode, and optionally overwrite existing clips.
Instructions
Create a new Animation clip inside an AnimationPlayer's default library.
After creating the clip, add tracks via animation_manage ops
add_property_track / add_method_track / create_simple.
Track node paths are stored relative to the AnimationPlayer's
root_node (default: its parent), not to the scene root — see
animation_manage preset ops for a forgiving target_path that
accepts either form.
If player_path doesn't resolve, an AnimationPlayer is auto-created
at that path (parent must exist).
