Animated Turret turning

[Ravendark 46]

Does anyone know how these following modelconditionstates (could) work?

 

    Line 65:             <xs:enumeration value="TURRET_ROTATE" />
    Line 390:             <xs:enumeration value="TURRET_ANGLE_0" />
    Line 391:             <xs:enumeration value="TURRET_ANGLE_90" />
    Line 392:             <xs:enumeration value="TURRET_ANGLE_180" />
    Line 393:             <xs:enumeration value="TURRET_ANGLE_270" />

I am guessing you could use transitionstates btween the angles for animations....but:

 

basicly 270degrees clockwise = 90degrees counterclockwise

 

as all the modelstates are clockwise....how would it know/be told to go counterclockwise? seeing as you cant tell it to go from state0 to state-90 but you can only tell it to go from state0 to state270,

Or would you need to stagger the animation cycle: state0 to state90 then state90 to state 180 etc and if you do a state 0 to state270 it will know that you are reversing it?

 

Does it make any sense explained that like?

Yeah most useful would probably be transition animation where you can say from x to y which implies cw and ccw.
