Can an Activated Game Object be Animated?

[HyeMyNameIs]

I am not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but it seems that I cannot animate a game object after I have activated using a trigger.

Can game objects be animated after they have been activated?

I am just trying to do a simple animation of the object moving forward a bit after it has been activated.

I do not want the player to see the object till the player turns around and steps forward a bit, that is why I am using Activate Game Object with a trigger.

Is there an invisible action, that I can enable and disable, instead of using activate game object?

Thanks!

disable the mesh renderer component on the game Object. That way it will be invisible on startup. Use set property on the mesh renderer by dragging the component into a playmaker state and click Set Property then. Set the property "Inherited" -> "Enabled" to true after you trigger it.
As for the animation, what kind of animation are you using. Generally one would use the Play Animation action for that.

I thought I had to do something with the mesh renderer, just didnt know how.

I am utilizing Play Animation, simple animation didn't work on game objects that were previously activated.

I am going to try your directions out soon and will update the thread with my findings.

Thanks for your help.
