Animations...how to keep separate?

Stiglr · 13th August 2009, 01:31 PM

I've finally started working with the X-Plane plug in to work with animations.

I've created a few for one aircraft, but one thing is puzzling.

All the animations I've created "play" together, even though they are separate Animation Groups in the heirarchy. This is somewhat troublesome, because some are 3-value animations (like the rudder, with a center at 0 value and 1 and 3 at the extreme angles of the rudder deployment) and some are simpler, 2-value animations.

How do you "separate" animation groups, so that when you select any animation and use the time slider, only THAT animation will move? And, conversely, if you DO want to tie multiple animation groups together, how do you 'manage' and 'organize' them?
