Deploying tanks

Now my problem is that I don't know how to name tank's deploying animation.
Is it something like xxxxdepl.vxl?

Why is this in mapping? Moved.

And that depends on how the tank deploys. If it deploys into a building, it will be that building's buildup anim. If it deploys into another vehicle (Simple Deployer), there's an INI flag to define the animation, look at Siege Chopper's code. But either way, it will be a .shp, cause animations can only be .shp .

Im guessing it deploys into some sort of structural building or base defense. In that case, you name the animation of it deploying xxxxmk.shp. But you do DeploysInto=xxxxmk.shp because the deploying anim is always a .shp... I think. But that should do it Wink

Stop talking bullshit. DeploysInto= points to a BuildingType, not an animation. That BuildingType's artmd.ini entry has a flag Buildup= , which points to the animation you want. It should be bloody obvious if you bother to look, really.

Sorry for wrong forum, i realized it myself too. I posted the tank problem here and i didn't think which forum it was so i posted my second topic here too.

So i need to do the animation to building it deploys. Ok, got it.
