basically, my plan is to make a rotating gear (its just a plane with a gear texture)

Can somebody walk me through how to go about doing this?
this is my first stage hack by the way.

Thanks in advance :)

do you know how to make an animation with a character? it works the same
if you dont you should watch wackaalpacka's tutorial about editing animations

Thank you actually, i got it.
But now, another question.. when i rotate the gear, it rotates around the top left corner
(im guessing its because the bone is there and not in the center)
how can i fix this?

do you want to rotate the whole gear?
if so, you should find the bone: TransN
if you edit tht bone EVERY bone will do tha same so just rotate that bone.
hope I helped :D

the bone won't necessarily be named TransN, make sure you are seeing all the bones, there should be one in the center.  and rather than making a new animation, you can just rename the one you have to fit the center bone.
