Doors open close (?)

[Wumpel]

so finally my truck works http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
thanx!

eeehm, and now, I want the back door of the truck open and close (well it's not a door, you know the normal 5t truck thing on the back)

How can I make this?
Could someone please explain? thank you!

You need to set up a custom animation. Basically you create a selection for the structure to swing ("back_door") in the viewable LODs and an axis in Memory lod (2 vertices, "axis_back_door").

Then there is some configfile editing. Go see a tutorial about custom animations. Should be one at www.ofpec.com (and even one at this very formun (the windmill-thingy))

Also add the door as a component in your Geometry LOD if you want it to push people out the way when moving.
