Making a Animated Scenery Object a Static One?

[GogebicChief]

Good Day: I was wondering if it is an easy thing to make an animated scenery object a static on. I see several objects on different routes that are both ways. Thanks for any Help. Take Care, Stefan

Hi,

You should be able to remove the animations from scenery items with a fairly simple .bin file "hack":

-- Browse to the end of the <RenderComponent> block in the blueprint.
-- Look for the <AnimSet>...</AnimSet> block and replace it by a single line entry <AnimSet/> (make sure that the forward slash is at the end)

This should do the trick and the items should now be without animation (but I haven't actually tested it in game myself). This should also work for instances of the model that you've already placed in the route.

Cheers,
Michael

Thank You Michael for getting back to me about this. It did not work, the game crashed to desktop.. But You did direct me to the right place in the Bin file, and I figured it out from there. I just took out the <AnimSet> section. checked against other a couple of other static objects. It worked like a charm... Take Care, & Thanks Again, Stefan
