# SampleAnimation(GameObject, float)

> Samples an animation at a given time for any animated properties.

## Definition

* **Type:** Method
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.AnimationModule

```csharp
public void SampleAnimation(GameObject go, float time)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[GameObject]\(/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/gameobject)): The animated game object.**** (\[float]\(https\://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.single)): The time to sample an animation.

### Remarks

It is recommended to use the [Animation](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/animation.md) interface instead for performance reasons. This will sample `animation` at the given `time`. Any component properties that are animated in the clip will be replaced with the sampled value. Most of the time you want to use [Animation.Play](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/animation/play.md) instead. SampleAnimation is useful when you need to jump between frames in an unordered way or based on some special input.
