      You can have an animation occur when a weapon is being fired, but not for any specific direction or movement.

      I was thinking the same thing, a robot that moves in certain position when changing directions and or firing special weapons. But like mrxak says, only animation occurs when a weapon is being fired.

      Now there is an alternative, you can have a semi-mech. Meaning a ship that would suddenly extends its arm out in a complex animation that it looks like its transforming. This you could use for firing special weapons.

      And oh yeah, don't forget about the banking animation as well. you could have a robot with stabilizers whos flaps goes up or down depending which direction the robot turned.

      Or you could be weird like me and give your robot a walking animation and make it inertialess.

      Damn straight, it's wierd.

      Animate it with banking frames that look like it's kicking away from a wall, or something. If all the limbs move when it turns, it'll look really cool.
