mesh + animation how to?

[Ellement]

I was just wondering how do i animate an object inside the engine? say i want to rotate a cube or sphere. Do i have to do this by script? if so , how to do it?

thank you

Animation can be achieved in one of 3 ways:

1. The mesh can be animated inside the modeling application ( long way )

2. Through the use of the lua script entity.setRotation(entity_ID, x, y, z) see the Scripting API https://api.aurasoft-skyline.co.uk/index.html

Note: the API can be accessed from inside Skyline from the Help menu.

3. And finally the quickest way is via the use of the Rotate Action. See the Toxic knot demo for an example of the rotation action. I will write a quick tutorial on how to rotate an object via actions.
