Hey, does anyone know if it's possible to play a ship or station's animation in reverse? I found a mobile shipyard that has a really neat opening animation, but it's playing in reverse. I'm fairly certain I have the lines in the odf file correct for animating the shipyard, but the animation itself seems to have been created backward. Can i play the animation backward instead?

I don't know a way to reverse the animation short of editing the model itself, but I do know that setting the ScaleSOD to any value other than 1 can cause animations to be messed up. You might also try messing with the values of the 'animation' and 'buildAnimation' lines.

The only way to play an animation backwards to my knowledge is to have both:

animation = 1
buildAnimation = 1

The first line makes the station "open up" after building as usual. However, buildAnimation now plays backwards when you start building something, and forwards when construction is complete. Perhaps the animation is not actually backwards, but is meant to work the way I described: first it opens forwards, then plays backwards when you build something.

Perhaps something is different in A2 / FleetOps that I'm not aware of.

That's actually what I've got on the station at the moment (and it was based on Fahres's Ambush class) so I thought it would work. Unfortunately, instead of folding outward when it builds, it folds inwards and builds that way.
