    Reforged Doodad (Wall Door) Opening Animation

    Any idea on how to make the model: Wall Door (Tilesets: Cityscape, Dalaran, Dalaran ruins), that comes along with the new castle wall models, have an <open door> animation trigger? My guess would be that there is no animation yet and you'd have to make one by yourself via the model editor.

    [General] Tree animation missing in-game

    Hi everyone, I was playing around in the World Editor and noticed trees animations are actually there and showed up both inside model preview and when placed on the terrain itself.
