Exporting the current animation state

[BlackRam-oss]

Hi, I'm integrating motion functions into my game engine to easily launch animations using the "animate" function. The integration is currently complete, but I'm missing the very last thing: saving the current animation state and recreating it later.

Currently, what I'm doing is inserting the arguments passed as parameters to the animate function into the save file, so that it can be started with the same parameters when the game loads. However, I don't think this is enough to recreate an animation with the same characteristics as a previous animation.

From what I've learned from motion, animate uses some values, such as the elapsed time and the starting value (in the case of a repeat), to perform calculations (there are probably others). I was wondering if there was a way to extract this data and set it.

If such a method doesn't exist, is it possible to implement it? (I could help with implementation)
