{RESOLVED] Howto: Multiple Animations on a Single Part

[Apollo13]

I've Googled and searched the Modding forum for an answer, and I've not found it. If you know a video or text tutorial or have a code example, I will much appreciate it.

I'm showing a simplified part for demo purposes. It is composed of: a block, two levers, and a collision mesh (node_collider). the collision mesh really plays not part in this; it's here for completeness.

In the demo are two animated levers: red_side and blue-side. The Blender timeline (baked to a single animation during FBX export; NLA and All Actions are unchecked).

The goal: first I click the "Red down" button (in the context menu) and that lever rotates down to the left. I then click the "Blue down" button, and that lever rotates down to the right while the red-side stays down. If I click the Blue-up, the red-side lever remains prone. The red-side goes perpendicular only when I click the "Red up" button.

What's happening: clicking the "Red down" does cause the lever to rotate to the left 90 degrees. However, when I click the "Blue down" button, the red-side immediately pops-up, and the blue-side rotates down to the right. Note that the "Red down" text has changed to "Red up" as it should. Clicking the "Red up" button, of course, has no effect, since the lever is already up.

In the following:

Left: at load to launchpad

Middle: Just after clicking the "red down" button. Context menu now shows "Red up", as it should.

Right: Just after clicking the "Blue down:" button. Red lever is now up. It should remain down.

Timeline:

Keyframe 1: Selected red-side lever. Both levers up

Keyframe 30: Rotated red-side down. Did not touch blue-side.

Keyframe 70: Rotated red-side up. Selected blue-side lever. Blue-side still up

Keyframe 100: Rotated blue-side down. Did not touch red-side.

Red-side timeline:

Blue-side timeline:

Unity animation (ignore the redUp and blueUp):

part.cfg

    MODULE
    {
        name = ModuleAnimateGeneric
        animationName = redDown
        startEventGUIName = Red down
        endEventGUIName = Red up
    }

    MODULE
    {
        name = ModuleAnimateGeneric
        animationName = blueDown
        startEventGUIName = Blue down
        endEventGUIName = Blue up
    }

Do I have to solve this programmatically via a plugin? If so, a tutorial and/or code example is appreciated.

thanks.

I just now found this...

Multiple animations on a single part

and this...

Should I animate my part in Unity or Blender?

Nuts...................
