Adding animations to a group.

[Meanderer]

When you are working with the animations, alterable values, etc. of a group of objects (as in all objects under a certain qualifier) are you stuck with the "default" values?

For example, suppose I wanted to change the name of a certain alterable value of a group to make it easier to remember. Can I do that, or am I simply going to have to keep a note of what "Alterable Values A-Z" refer to?

Furthermore, can I add animations to a group of objects, or am I stuck working within the confines of the standard "Walking, Running, Shooting" set?

You'll have to keep a note.

No, you can add more animations to the individual objects but when referring to them via qualifier you'll need to use an expressions and refer to it by animation number ie.: change to animation sequence 15

Thanks.

As a follow-up question, is 16 the total number of animations that a group can have? Whenever I opt to set the animation of an individual object to a calculation, it tells me that the result has to be between 1 and 16, but if I enter 17 it still works and plays the right animation. What's the story there? Will this limitation actually kick in with a group?

It can be greater than 16, don't know why it says 1-16...
