Not cool. Period.

Okay, I've spent the last few hours tearing that tutorial apart, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how I made my candy portal work in the first place. According to that tutorial (which I believe I read in order to make my portal in the first place) I didn't even set up my nif right to begin with, and it shouldn't have worked. Also, I downloaded the pack from the tutorial, and to my dismay the animations won't even play in nifskope, so there's no great way for me to know if I am doing this right without testing in-game. That tutorial actually kinda angers me, because it doesn't explain anything other than 'import these animation templates'. When all is said and done I'm writing my own tutorial Regardless, I attempted to set up the proper animation hierarchy and wound up with a missing mesh marker for some reason My original candy portal had no controller sequence, btw, that's what I meant by I didn't set it up right. I really do appreciate the help

I have a nice little candy portal, but I would really like to be able to reverse the direction of the spin on command, and change its opacity on command. I've never done animations on activate before, so I don't know much about interacting with the animations through script. All I know is that it has to do with animation groups, and the ayleid button is activated with playgroup forward. Can anybody shed some light on this topic for me? Here's a video of the candy portal I made:

Yeah, there's going to be Jelly Bears, terrifying Gingerbread Men, Nordish Fish, Candy Atronachs , and flying Taco Birds (migratory birds from the northeast, they are highly valuable within Candyland and can be used to purchase things or increase your resistance to candyfication). I may add on later, but for now this is all I've planned. Thanks guys ^^ I'm glad somebody's looking forward to this other than me =p
