animation questions

[ICEE]

neither I nor anyone i know has ever animated a plasma weapon, so i am forced to come here.


i can handle the animating, but i dont know what these animations are, or what they should be exported as.

overheated
overheating (difference?)
throw-overheated
overheating again
o-h exit


i figure theyre all fairly similar being about overheating, but can someone please specify the animations purposes/ exactly what they do, and whether they should be exported as a JMA, JMO etc? i will be very obliged.

rep for he who answers my query

[teh lag]

overheated - looping animation of the gun while overheated
overheating (difference?) - first anim of the gun overheating. Ex : the PR's flaps opening.
throw-overheated - throwing a grenade while overheated
overheating again - switching to the gun while still overheated
o-h exit - final anim when gun is overheated. Ex : the PR's flaps closing.

All are .jma.
