March 14, 200323 yr Hey guys,I've run into another problem. I made this silly truck just to test the animation in gMax, but it just stands there, static. I've attached the zip file in the message which contains de gMax file. I appreciate any help.
March 14, 200323 yr The attachment lists as a text file. Right click on the attachmente and click on "Save As", name the file anim.zip when saving it. Thanks
March 15, 200323 yr Author Commercial Member I can't have a look at the file at the moment (will try to do that later), but are you sure that you have added the tick18_ prefix to your part name? Also do you have another non animated part in your scene? These two things often solve problems with animations :).ArnoMember Netherlands 2000 Scenery Team[link:home.wanadoo.nl/arno.gerretsen]Arno's FlightSim World for scenery design hints, tips and other tricks...

March 15, 200323 yr he's not trying a rotation, isn't tick 18 just enable rotation? His truck goes back and forth linearly. His parts are named tick18_1, etc..B
March 16, 200323 yr Author Commercial Member No Tick18 is required for any keyframe animation.I had a look at the file and it only has the animated part. I have had the same kind of problem with such objects, try to add a static (non animated part) to the scene. That will probably solve the problem.ArnoMember Netherlands 2000 Scenery Team[link:home.wanadoo.nl/arno.gerretsen]Arno's FlightSim World for scenery design hints, tips and other tricks...

March 17, 200323 yr Thanks to the both for the replies. I'll be trying to add a normal object. Also, since we are on the subject, I need to make a rotating beacon on the top of a control tower. For this, do I simply make an object that will rotate and add the tick label, or do I just make the animation, or do I have to do both? Thanks again,Leandro.
March 17, 200323 yr Nope.Added a simple cube next to it and didn't work. Maybe it's because I'm using FSRegen to make an api and add it that way. Do I have to add it through the coordinates? Do you guys have any simple gMax file that can make available for me to test? Thanks all,Leandro
March 17, 200323 yr Author Commercial Member I did a small test and it only works if you add the static object before you add the dynamic one. So I am afraid you have to build a new scene with the static object first.FsRegen shouldn't have any influence.ArnoMember Netherlands 2000 Scenery Team[link:home.wanadoo.nl/arno.gerretsen]Arno's FlightSim World for scenery design hints, tips and other tricks...
