WARNING: This script is deprecated and may or may not work with latest version of Space Engineers.

I don't play Space Engineers anymore so i won't be providing any patches in the future.

This script allow SE Blocks to playback an animation, the animation is restricted to object's tranformations along a timeline.

Requires Blender 2.70 or up for exporting animations.

Example available at: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=594962470

• Export animations in Blender and include the exported sequence into your mod.
• Animation is per part allowing mixing multiple different sequences together.
• Ability to play any keyframe lengths and frame rate with any part.
• Can play any sequence with different speed at any time during playback.
• Negative speed will play animation backwards.
• By default part colors will be taken from root block but is possible to assign a custom color per part.
• Any sequence can be played once, looped, ping-pong or only a specific single keyframe.
• Is possible to manually set custom transformations on a part for procedual animation.
• Can hide parts and disable animation when player is far away to minimize performance impact.
• Emissive material can be changed on parts.

• Games doesn't have System.IO.Directory and VRage.FileSystem.MyFileSystem whitelisted, your mod either have to be in workshop using the exact name as modName or a folder in /Mods/ with exact name as altModName.
• Created pars won't have physics, make sure the root block has a collision box big enough to cover the whole animation area.
• No "bone weight" support, all animation elements will be transformed on object's local matrix only.
• Hiding a specific part will also hide all child parts, if Anima is disabled the Visible property of any part will always report false, keep this in mind if you use part.Visible.
• Animation Export script is only available for Blender 2.7x and up.

Documentation is available by opening Documentation/html/index.html with your browser.

Install Anima_Blender.zip into Blender.

Include Anima.cs and your own game-logic inside a script folder on your mod.

For more info how to do this please check in documentation.
