• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Animation compile error

Hi,

I animated a hangar door (named ani_door in FSDS) and set the keyframes at 0, 512, and 1024. However, when I try to compile the model I get the following error:

Running model

Start! (_temp.x)
Loading X _temp.x...
Processing...
Model units are 1.00 units/meter
Sorting by Material...
Welding...
Generate BGL...
ERROR: Animation trigger ani_door not found, mapped to "userdefined8"
Done!
Generate crash tree 1 (712 bytes)
Assembling: _temp.azm
Done!


Why is it looking for an animation trigger?

Also, when I try to run it through FS2004 MakeMDL manually I get a long list of errors:

Error!

Thanks in advance for any help..

-Kobbe
 
Not sure if this is also the case in FSDS, but I expect you should use a tick18_ prefix in your part name to get the animation to work.
 
Ok, I fixed that, but I still get the MakeMDL errors.

In FSDS it exports fine, but after editing the ASM files with CAT and trying to compile the MDL I get the same long list of errors as I did before.

What's the problem now?

Thanks
 
Once again, it might help to show the errors :).

Usually if CAT throws a bunch of errors, the animation is not correct. Did you test the MDL in FS before using CAT?
