Hello. I am fairly new to animating and animating in Blender, especially. What I want to do is animate two sliding doors (one slides to the right and the other to the left), but I need them to use the same action for Open and Closed. This is to be exported to a game engine so I can call Open and both doors will slide open and then call Closed, and both doors will slide closed.
I know how to access the Action editor, name an Action, and then create the animation via keyframes. So, this is not an issue. But since I have to animate both doors as separate objects, if I create an Action called Open for LeftDoor, then RightDoor’s action gets appended (something like Open.001).
So, my question is, how can I animate two object (a left and a right sliding door that slide open in opposite directions) that will use the same animation names (Open and Close) so those names can be called in a game engine?
Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks!
