[SOLVED] SODE Animations not working!

[Aviasim]

Probably the 19876th problem with SODE today! and it's getting rather frustrating!

I applied a SODE_1_4SEC animation to my hangar doors and they are not moving in FS. In fact, when I press tab+S to bring up the text menu it says there are no triggerable animations within 12km - Im standing right next to the bloody thing!

I am using 0-100 frames for my animation, which is also set in my modeldef with a lag of 25 to give 4 seconds...as described in the manual.

However, for what ever reason, SODE does not recognise my animation at all, it worked fine as an Ambient animation!

I have seen SODE can't animate multiple objects which leads me to think that maybe it's my doors. Here is a pic...

That is with the ambient animation - so ignore that they are open now, however, there are 4 blocks (doors) which open, 2 slide in opposite directions. Because these are seperate objects (which is needed to animate the way I want them to) does this mean SODE is still seeing it as multiple animations?

In the game with the proper SODE_1_4SEC tagged animation.. the doors are shut.

Am I doing something wrong here or am I still missing/forgetting something?

Thanks

And my XML code is simply:

<SODE>
<SimObject Name="T2 Hangar">
<Placement Lat="52.6056768361" Lon="-1.036713039" Alt="0.0#AGL" Hdg="-41.5"/>
<Model SimTitle="EGBG_T2_Hangar"/>
<TriggerableAnimation Input="TextMenu" Action="Open,Close" StartKF="0" EndKF="100" Duration="4" IgnoreRadiusFilter="Yes"/>
</SimObject>
</SODE>

Please, somebody?!

<TriggerableAnimation Input="TextMenu" Action="Open,Close" StartKF="0" EndKF="100" Duration="4" IgnoreRadiusFilter="Yes"/>

</SimObject>
</SODE>

Just a guess but perhaps you need closing xml tags?

</TriggerableAnimation>
</Model>

Any behavioural "tag" (like TriggerableAnimation) is a child of the Model tag -> https://sode.12bpilot.ch/?document=the-xml-definition-file/model

<SODE>
  <SimObject Name="T2 Hangar">
    <Placement Lat="52.6056768361" Lon="-1.036713039" Alt="0.0#AGL" Hdg="-41.5"/>
    <Model SimTitle="EGBG_T2_Hangar">
       <TriggerableAnimation Input="TextMenu" Action="Open,Close" StartKF="0" EndKF="100" Duration="4" IgnoreRadiusFilter="Yes"/>
    </Model>
  </SimObject>
</SODE>

Any idea where I am going wrong, Jeffrey?
Will it be the fact the doors are there own individual mesh? (they share the same texture). In MCX Animation Editor, I see 4 instances of SODE_1_4SEC - which would make sense to me as the doors are separate objects....

He just told you it's jus a syntax error in your xml code

When I add the </Model> tag, the model completely disappears from the sim.. not even a red X....
Also the animation is still not detected by the menu

Could you post your XML again as it currently looks?

Now you closed the model twice now. Once in the model opening tag and the second in the closing tag.
You need to remove the '/' in the first one, so it says:

"<Model SimTitle="EGBG_T2_Hangar">"

Then it should work

Ahh mate... I can not thank you enough, it works!

Personal de-brief, I did use SODEPlacer to place the model and added in the triggerable animation line - so I completely forgot to add the </Model> closing tag and the stray / I perhaps would have never figured out so again, thank you so so much!
