HI can you help please.
I`m having trouble with my gate triggers.
This is what I have done. I got a animated Objects.xml, I go in to my placeables folder and open a gate folder I pick the gate I want.

I then go in to that gates xml and copy the animatedObjects text which I put in to animatedObjects.xml.
I then go in to the gates modDesc and copy the lines between the 110n and put them in the maps modDesc.

I go in to my map and place the gates.
Then I go in to userattributes. 1 index string, 2 onCreate scriptcallback, 3 xmlFilename string, in 1 I put gate name,2 AnimatedObject.onCreate and in 3 maps/animatedObjects.xml.

Game log throws up a error saying failed to open xml AnimatedObjects.xml gates can not be found in AnimatedObjects.xml.
But they are in there.

Placeable animated objects and inbuilt (in map) are different. Those in map are 'animatedMapObjects', they need as scriptCallback "AnimatedMapObject.onCreate". Also the associated xml has slightly different structure.
