# Objective
fixes#8357
gltf animations can affect multiple "root" nodes (i.e. top level nodes
within a gltf scene).
the current loader adds an AnimationPlayer to each root node which is
affected by any animation. when a clip which affects multiple root nodes
is played on a root node player, the root node name is not checked,
leading to potentially incorrect weights being applied.
also, the `AnimationClip::compatible_with` method will never return true
for those clips, as it checks that all paths start with the root node
name - not all paths start with the same name so it can't return true.
## Solution
- check the first path node name matches the given root
- change compatible_with to return true if `any` match is found
a better alternative would probably be to attach the player to the scene
root instead of the first child, and then walk the full path from there.
this would be breaking (and would stop multiple animations that *don't*
overlap from being played concurrently), but i'm happy to modify to that
if it's preferred.
