This is rather a quick mashup... its 0530 here and i havent been to bed yet.

I don't know how much you know about ArmA configs and cfgs so im going to assume you know nothing if that is ok.

Just to explain a bit how the door animation works:

3 Files...

sample_door.p3d - the model obviously but pay special attention to the roadway lod and the geometry lod.

config.cpp - contains the ingame settings etc

model.cfg - defines all the animations used.

There is a subtle link between all 3 that if you cock it up nothin works.

1 - For any animation to work on a building you need to add a named property not a named selection, to the geo lod. this is

 
Name = Class
Value = House

This tells the game engine how to handle the model.

2 - In the model.cfg you need to define the "source" to match the class name you use in the class animationsources of the config.cpp.

EG:

model.cfg line 25 is source="door1";

In the config.cpp line 47 completes the link.

...
	class AnimationSources 
	{
		class door1// this is the link from the source defined in the model.cfg
		{
			source = "user"; 
			animPeriod = 3;  
			initPhase=0;   				
		};
	};
...

All this is because you are creating a custom animation source to deal with the door movement.

If this makes any sense at all, great but if not i'll try and explain a bit more when ive had some sleep.
