# init(animations:automaticallyPlaysDefaultAnimation:)

Creates an animation library from a dictionary that associates an animation’s data with its name.

## Declaration

```swift
init(animations: [String : AnimationResource], automaticallyPlaysDefaultAnimation: Bool)
```

## Parameters

- `animations`: A dictionary of animation resources that you key by name.
- `automaticallyPlaysDefaultAnimation`: Whether to automatically play the default animation when the entity is added to a scene and enabled. When true, the animation system plays the default animation automatically. When false, animations require manual playback.
