Removing Animators when done

Hi All

With my model I am using a FlyStraightAnimator(without looping) for the movement and a RotationAnimator but have a question. According to the docs when finished I can remove the animators using drop(), but, when do I know the animator is finished?, eg. I want to rotate the model to look at a certain point and also move it to that point using above mentioned animators, when it is done, I want to remove the animators. Is there an easy way that I am missing or must I code some extra if statements to check my vectors against?

Regards

You can drop them after you defined what they must do. Then the scene manager knows what to do when you call DrawAll(). Correct me if I am wrong

Hi again

I add them in the eventReceiver. ie. I recieve a mouse event, create the animator, add it to the node and drop it. This works as it then animates as it should, but what happens when I receive the next mouse event? Does it remove the previous animator when done or is it still attached to the node, only inactive?
