Animated static objects

Hi am trying to make an animated object for a map. I know there animated oil pumps on west coast USA. However I don’t know how that is done. I have tried to copy it but it has no animations. Even though it looks like it is set up the same. How does this work

 

You have to animate the object in your 3d software. Then import it and it should work.

 

That’s what I was doing. However when I imported it into game the animation was not doing anything. The object was stationary.

 

Might be how you exported it, try importing the model you exported into your 3d software and see if it plays.

 

It plays in the 3D program

 

I'm not sure what's wrong, it should work.

I just remembered! you have to click "play ambient" in the inspector under the rendering tab, sorry.

 

I have clicked play ambient it still does not work. Even takeing one of the dev oil pumps and re exporting it as a new name does not work

 

Could you send me it so I could take a look.

 

Here is the model It is supposed to be lightning.

 

Sorry I took so long, I was occupied. Try this, I used an armature to scale the lightning. I tested it and it works for me.
