Title: lift?
Post by: aries_pup on 02 Jun 2005, 05:21:37

Hi, i modelled a building with a lift... and i'm trying to make it work like a lift...

is there any other "type" of animation other den "rotation"... went thru several scripts to onli find [type="rotation"] but i need a translation rather den rotation...

can anyone help me out on this??

thanks a million~!

as far as i know 'rotation' is the only kind of type you can pass over to the animation class.
make the rotation axis very very - and i mean _very_ - far away from the model and the rotation angle very little, so that you get an almost linear animation. there's no other way i'm afraid
perhaps there were more rotation types planned or we get to know more when armed assault comes out, who knows...

the icon size is relative the the over size off the building in oxygen~ if 1 point is like 50meters away, den the size of the icon will be 50m + the building size...
