In Lyra Beginner’s Kit, I first saw this node. I tried replacing it with a sequence player.But the animation performance effect is no different.

seqence evaluator will calculate the specifc anim sequence in one frame

So its just straight up better or there is more to it that you’re aware of?

Sadly evaluators and players don’t really have any official documentation beyond API.

I am currently working on an unofficial documentation for a lot of animnodes though, so maybe this helps:

You need to be within a Sequence Evaluator to call nodes like “Distance Match To Target” or “Set Explicit Time”
If anyone is getting the following errors:
DistanceMatchToTarget called on an invalid context or with an invalid type
SetExplicitTime called on an invalid context or with an invalid type
Doublecheck its a Sequence Evaluator.
