==A note about animation order== | |||
{{stub}} | |||
Animations are executed by FlightGear in the order that they are read in the model's .xml file. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to the order, especially when multiple animations are applied to the same object(s). | |||

Various animations ([[#Rotate|rotate]], [[#Spin|spin]]) move around a center point. | |||

===Object-name=== | |||
These names are set in the 3D model. Each single object has a unique name; for easy identification it is advised to use descriptive names (LeftElevator, Rudder etc.). Animations are only applied to those objects that are mentioned in an object-name line (one object per line!). Animations lacking those, will be applied to the entire model. | |||

===Enable-hot=== | |||
Scenery objects are automatically defined as solid by FlightGear, meaning that an aircraft can taxi on them and/or crash when touching. For certain objects (groundmarkings, beacon light-beams etc.) this might be an unwanted feature. The solidness can be disabled with the following animation: | |||
<animation> | |||
<object-name>Object</object-name> | |||
<enable-hot type="bool">false</enable-hot> | |||
</animation> | |||
* '''enable-hot:''' can be either true or false. Remember that objects are automatically solid, so it should not be nesecarily to set this at all when wanting solidness. | |||
