help for timeline command on the ISS

[linuxm@n]

To simplify my iss ssc file i want to include the "timeline" command for my next release "iss-construction",
i had a look to the cassini example on the wiki an tried to ajust it to my zvezda solar panels.
here is the ssc file:

#Timeline test
"Zvezda-panneaux" "Sol/Earth/Zarya/Zvezda"
{
Class "spacecraft"
Mesh "zvezdapan.3ds"
Radius 0.0151695135

Timeline [
# Phase 1: no rotation on solar panels
{
Beginning "2000 07 26 12:00:00"
Ending "2000 07 26 13:15:00"

OrbitFrame { BodyFixed { Center "Sol/Earth/Zarya/Zvezda" }}
FixedPosition [-0.001656 -0.001110 0.000023]
BodyFrame { BodyFixed { Center "Sol/Earth/Zarya/Zvezda" }}
FixedRotation { }
}

# Phase 2: solar pannel folow the sun
{
Beginning "2000 07 26 13:15:00"

OrbitFrame { BodyFixed { Center "Sol/Earth/Zarya/Zvezda" }}
FixedPosition [-0.001656 -0.001110 0.000023]
BodyFrame { BodyFixed { Center "Sol/Earth/Zarya/Zvezda" }}
RotationOffset 130
RotationPeriod -1.540233408
}
}
] # End Timeline
}


#End Timeline test

Then using this ssc file i can't see any solar panel, and others meshes following this part of my iss ssc file have disapears.

Thank you

Linuxman,

It looks like you've messed up your closing braces ... (there's one too many close braces ("}"), and you've terminated the Timeline too late (outside the object block). See: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Celestia/1 ... _Timelines

#Timeline test
"Zvezda-panneaux" "Sol/Earth/Zarya/Zvezda"
{
...
Timeline [
# Phase 1: no rotation on solar panels
{
....
}

# Phase 2: solar pannel folow the sun
{
....
}
} <--- This is actually the end of Zvezda-panneaux
] # End Timeline <--- move this up one line.
} <--- delete this


Try this:

Code: Select all

#Timeline test
"Zvezda-panneaux" "Sol/Earth/Zarya/Zvezda"

   Class "spacecraft"

Linuxman,

Thank you, with your ssc file i can see the others meshes, i have just delete some dates in the ssc file (now just the ending date on the first phase)

I do the same timeline to zvezda and others meshes.
