Detailed Description

An interval action is an action that takes place within a certain period of time.

It has an start time, and a finish time. The finish time is the parameter duration plus the start time.

These ActionInterval actions have some interesting properties, like:

They can run normally (default)
They can run reversed with the reverse method
They can run with the time altered with the Accelerate, AccelDeccel and Speed actions.

For example, you can simulate a Ping Pong effect running the action normally and then running it again in Reverse mode.

Example:

Action *pingPongAction = Sequence::actions(action, action->reverse(), nullptr);
