Animated RTS Building Marker

by Nathan Bowhay - ESAL · in Torque Game Engine · 09/28/2006 (2:31 am) · 1 replies

I need to animate the building marker object.

As far as I can tell this is impossible because it is a tsStatic Object.

Yet I found this comment:
// Set this to display the idle animation, note we never update the thread
// so it's just sitting on the same frame, but whatever

What does this mean?

A quick glance trough tsStatic tells me it should be able to animate, but probably just has support for one ambient animation. Ambient animations loop and play all the time, like a windmill that goes around and around.
