Blender IA export question

[dogrokket]

Chacal, if you're out there, you may be able to help on this. I'm working on a scenery object (God forbid I get into a locomotive) and I am trying to get a mesh object to rotate constantly. It is a ring with 'lights' on it. It's also an _fx_night node. It exports fine as a static object, with the day and the night nodes showing up at appropriate times. I am using Dom's exporter, but I suppose that the bigex exporter is very similar. I have it working fine in blender; set frames from 1 to 61 with fps of 10. However, when I export the animated scenery blueprint, it doesn't move. I may be answering my own question here, but can you designate an animation as _fx_night? Here's what it looks like:

EDIT:

Yup, I answered my own question. When I took out the fx_night from the animated part it works. Crap. It rotates like a crazy watch second hand. Aw geez... not another script adventure...

In my wish list, I would like that animation to only show up in, you guessed it, day time.

Good thing you found the answer, because this is way over my head.
Also I'm in Hong-Kong presently, with no access to Blender.

Something is off here. Are you trying to say that Blender cannot export a model which used _fx_day/night and the IA file?

Well, er, let me clarify: It will export fx day/night nodes, but it seems that if the animated object has the suffix, it won't. At least I haven't figured it out yet.

Chacal, I'm trying to do a work around and mask the animation during the day with a day node.

EDIT: The mask worked. Weird way of doing it, but what the heck...

Very cool animation on youtube - Las Vegas here we come!
