Furniture animation

[Raketfart]

I would like to expand the character animation system to be useful to furniture as well. That would mean the we could:

• use the shader to change color of indicater lights on the furniture.
• Add animation definitions in xml, and lua could just ask to play a certain animation
• Add animation that should observe some value, and change accordingly (like door openness)
• Run an animation when "jobworked" and another when not

These are just some of my thoughts on this - please add ideas and wishes

We absolutely need this. Blinking lights, power surges through the tesla coils and just indications that things are online and working. My space-lasers will also need to be able to swivel at some point.

Can we use this to lights the rooms with some furnitures like a space lampposts, projectors ?

@Ohda Probably not as a part of this shader/animation system. But we definetly need lighting at some point.

Furniture animation now exist. Ligth should be a different topic
