Re: Action Sources, Regular vs Italics

[André Adam <a_adam(at)49games.de>]

Hey Helge, Robert, thanks!
Finally got it, I had been moving sources from one folder to the other 
in the explorer's Sources/Clips viewing mode, which doesn't seem to 
actually move the sources physically from one model to the other. For 
anyone interested, the script below illustrates the problem...
Still strange though, the mapping between the Sources folder and the 
corresponding scene elements is not that straight forward, is it?

//Models
var oM1 = ActiveSceneRoot.AddModel();
var oM2 = ActiveSceneRoot.AddModel();
//Geo
var oT1 = oM1.AddGeometry("Torus", "MeshSurface");
var oT2 = oM2.AddGeometry("Torus", "MeshSurface");
//Source1
var aTarget1 = new Array(oT1.PosX.FullName.replace(oM1.Name + ".", ""));
var aSource1 = new Array("5");
var aActive1 = new Array(true);
oM1.AddActionSource("Mysource1", aTarget1, aSource1, aActive1);
//Source2
var aTarget2 = new Array(oT2.PosX.FullName.replace(oM2.Name + ".", ""));
var aSource2 = new Array("5");
var aActive2 = new Array(true);
oM2.AddActionSource("Mysource2", aTarget2, aSource2, aActive2);
//Copy / Paste
CopyPaste("Sources._3D_Model.Mysource1", null, "Sources._3D_Model1", 1);
RemoveFolder("Sources._3D_Model");
//Turn Explorer to Sources / Clips viewing mode and open the Animation 
folders...

Since I can't spot any difference in regards to the overall animation, is anyone having any idea what XSI is trying to tell me by printing those Action Sources in italics?
