Hi

i want to animate a wheeled vehicle, i created a animation sequence in the model and exported as DTS file. when i play the animation in my game, only the vehicle body part is animating not the wheel, wheel attached with the model is still in the ground. any suggestions how to animate both the vehicle body and wheel in the engine..

What are you trying to do animate shocks/springs? if so you need to make some Sequence_spring0 to spring3 nodes each wheel hub needs to be keyed up and down in the same key frames as the shocks for the rest of the car to animate more then likely more scripting/code is needed.
