animation via EV?

[Curt84328]

HOW do I activate an animation, and have it play one cycle in the EV

[Curt84328]

I was able to figure it out.   You need to take the loop off and set a trigger to start the animation.  Without the loop feature, it plays one complete cycle and stops.   I have a scene where a locomotive hits a trigger track which opens the doors.  the loco goes into the shed, hits a trigger track to stop it and the same trigger closes the doors.

how do you set loop OFF ?

Check the animation section of the model's properties. (bottom right of the screen)

near the forward/backward, reset and other buttons, you'll find a checkbox for continuous looping

And how do you make a trigger point ?

The beginning of the track is your trigger point. As you already know, you can trigger events (i.e. make them respond) when a specific track is entered. And that's what Curt is referring to when he talks about a trigger track.

Thanks Goetz
thats a fast response !! Grait
Ok now its clear to me abouth the trigger point ,the way i read it everywhere(translate in englisch) is that it was a special option in the sim itself,, but now i now its a term we use ;o)
and the tip of the LOOP .., wow it saves me a lot of time THANKS!!.
