I am working on a weapon that uses an animated projectile but so far I haven't been able to get it to animate at all.

P.S. All I need to work is a simple idle animation to use while it's moving, nothing complicated.

Is it a transforming animation (like unfolding, jittering), or can you do it in a shader animation?
I wanted to make a disc launcher, where the disc spun, but realized you can animate the material to give the effect of spinning.

It's a transforming animation. To be more specific, I'm converting the lightning tags into a projectile.

Ah. Well, the projectile tag has model, animation, and collision fields. I suggest you try that.
Export and compile your .JMA animations into a model_animations and set the animation in the projectile tag. Remember your checksums!

Then would there be any other way to setup a lightning projectile?
