nedd help making animations in spacecraft3.dll

[weepleman]

Hi, I recently decided to make add-ons for orbiter. I am able to make flyable ships with meshes and textures, and I am able to make continous animations. The problem is that I want to be able to make animations that activate when a key is pressed and move from start to end, by pressing a button. I have read and reread the spacecraft3.dll and orbiter manual, and niether of them describe this in much detail. Can someone tell me how to do this.

Right,
First of Please use the search function on this forum and also browse the old M6 forum.

You will find several posts that describe SC3 animations in detail.

Next, have you looked through some examples of SC3 animations.
Greg Burch is also known as the king of SC3. Look through his ini files.

Thirdly, SC3 Animations are divided into 3 types.
Translation is movement along the plane
Rotation is movement around a point
Scale is the scaling of the object
