retractable landing gear

Description
First: please leave feedback, its frustrating to get nothing back (thumb up).

This Mod contains two retractable and one folding landing gear blocks for large and small grids. The Script for the animation is working only on the client, so there should no negative impact to the server simspeed.

Function:
- Turn the block OFF and they retract (if locked on, it stays extended)
- Turn the block ON and they extend
(i decided to make it work, also without power)

Design:
- The gears are designed to look good without blocks around, but they are also designed to fit between blocks

Known issues:
- If you change the color after placing the block, the subpart will not change the color, reloading the world fixed it (choose color before placing)
- The collossion box is fix. If the gear is retracted, the collision box is still extended (you have to live with this until collision box is moddable, sorry. Because that i cant add bigger gears without getting bad feedback.)
- Animated parts are pink boxes in offline mode (steam offline), no fix for now

Scale:
- retractable LG: 3x2x1 (like the vanilla LG)
- retractable LG: 1x2x1
- folding LG: 3x3x1

To be clear:
- this is not a piston
- it is a landing gear block with animation
- collision box is not moving

Thanks to:
JustBurn, for the BaseAnima Script, needs a while to get it up and running for LandingGear Block, but it works.
Thx for sharing. See JustBurns Example Mod: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=594962470 (not required for this mod)

Harag, for the SE Block Tools for Blender.

Port this to MOD.io for XBox?
This Mod is using client side script, that is not working for XBox.

Tested and it works here too now.
Thank you for fixing the problem! :)

or maybe it is a short fix.
Biggest Problem was to get VisualStudio up and running again ;-)
After all updates only one error stay in the list of erros, was a problem with "UpdateEmissiveParts" (Thx Centroline), it is no longer available. Changed that to "UpdateNamedEmissiveParts", and after getting Blender to work and find out the names of my Emissive materials, it was easy ;-)

In my test it was working again, uploaded a few moments ago. Have fun.

I will take a look into it. Maybe it needs a while.
