Hi thanks!

Uhm I would like to start from the beginning, fact is that I have done a chest with a working animation, but that was several months ago and I forgot what I have done or the tutorial that helped me...

I'm stuck on the exporting part where I can't export the animations right
> but I can maybe figure it out then, lets focus on the in-game part so :)

i have my chest that has an idle and opening sequences.
they are working in the viewer, and i would like to create a dynamic prop to create content for my addons

The result i'm searching for is to animate an entity : have you already seen addons on darkrp such as Mining systems or Printers that are animated? That's what I try to do

> Can I use the $sequence or $animation via a lua script in order to make it animated by pressing 'use' on it in game for example?

Hello,
I've been searching for tutorials and trying to export an animated model from blender to gmod since few months now... but I still can't make it

I successfully exported several props, but the animation is quite difficult.
I have got so far to viewing my animation in the Crowbar view model tool, but it didn't play in-game.

Here I am asking for any help, exporting to gmod from blender isn't easy and I know the skeletal animation/sequences aren't well documented as I can't find a tutorial younger than 10yo or one exporting to gmod.

Can anyone suggest a tutorial or even guide me through the steps?

Thanks for your help, Jimmy
