Hi Roberto,
editing xml files for animations is real easy, I wrote some for ai
animations and "connected" themm to the AI animation property tree. I
don't really have access to the xml files at the moment but very
basically, from what I understand, nasal writes into the property tree,
the xml files "watch" the property tree and set various graphic
properties of the graphic element according to those properties.
eg:
<!-- Extend/Retract -->
<!-- Gear -->
<animation>
<type>rotate</type>
<object-name>UC-NoseStrutTop</object-name>
<object-name>UC-NoseStrutBottom</object-name>
<object-name>UC-FTyre</object-name>
<object-name>UC-FStrutLowerDamper</object-name>
<object-name>UC-FStrutUpperDamper</object-name>
<object-name>UC-FStrutUpperBrace</object-name>
<property>gear/gear[0]/position-norm</property>
