Zero animation Animation file

Is there a way to make a animation file (IA) with zero content, as Railworks seems to need that for some animation functions such as crossing lights.
Seems it can be done in MAX ok.

Hi Peter,

For my Trafficlight I made an animation of the light shape, so that it moves behind the grey plate and back in the Z direction.
Only two positions, in front of the plate and behind the plate, that works for me in railworks.

Make sure you name the group the same as in the script. In my case lc_lightsleft.
I used the sieg_hage_lc.lua script.

Hope this helps

ok, thanks thats a idea. I understood that Railworks would animate the lights to flash providing the names are right and you provide a animation file. So I guess thats one way doing it.
