Playing an animation sequence on a ShapeBase class

All classes that derive from the ShapeBase class (such as StaticShape) allow full control over the animation sequences that play on an object instance. In this recipe, we will learn how to start and stop multiple animation sequences on a StaticShape class.

Getting ready

We will be making TorqueScript changes, and working with the World Editor in a project based on the Torque 3D's Full template using the Empty Terrain level.

If you haven't already, use the Torque Project Manager (Project Manager.exe) to create a new project from the Full template. It can be found under the My Projects directory. After that, start your favorite script editor, such as Torsion, and let's get going!

How to do it...

In the following steps, we will change the animation sequences, which will play on a ShapeBase object:

1. Create a new TorqueScript text file as art/datablocks/npcSoldier.cs and load it into your text editor.

2. Add the following code to the file that will be...
