Ahoy! :grin:
I tried this a while ago, but my time got hijacked by other things, now I want to get this perfected, so here goes.

Ok, I created a bunch of lamps everywhere in one of my towns, like any normal inhabited area would. Then I noticed that the lamp post had a death animation which basically turned off the light bulb. So my idea was to select all of the lamps and "Show Death Animation" at dawn and "Show Birth Animation" at dusk. But my problem was, how do you select all doodads of a specific type, and also, can you even have a doodad play animations??? If not then will I have to make them all units or structures?

If anyone has any advice, THANKS!!!!

There are 'Play animation' Actions for destructibles. Just check under Animations, Destructibles or Doodads when you choose a new Action.

I'm not sure if you can pick them all, but just try, and you should be able to figure it out :smile:
