Fix bitECS loop-animation
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
**Problem**

loop-animation with bitECS may not work correctly if multiple
loop-animation components use the same animation name to refer
to glTF.animation(s).

**Root issue**

Mozilla Hubs loop-animation component has a problem in the spec.
A loop-animation component can refer to glTF.animations with
animation names but the glTF specification allows non-unique names
in glTF.animations so if there are multiple glTF.animations that
have the same name no one can know what glTF.animations a
loop-component using that names refers to.

Refer to #6153 for details.

**Solution**

Preprocesses glTF content before parsing to avoid the problem by
adding a glTF loader plugin that converts name based animation
reference in loop-animation component to index based.

**Note**

The old loop-animation component handler (without bitECS) seems
to assume that multiple glTF.animations that have the same name
have the same animation data and loop-component refers to the
first glTF.animation of the ones having the same name. The
plugin follows the assumption for the compatibility, not sure
if it is the best approach.

With this commit we may remove name based animation reference
processing codes from the loop-animation handlers but until we
are confident for the change we may keep them.

**Change**

- Add a glTF loader plugin to convert name based animation
  reference in loop-animation component to index based.
