 On the LCVP there are really only three animatable parts. Some of these are made up of multiple components so its better to use animatesource rather than just animate. This will move the objects without breaking the timing etc: On the LCVP there are really only three animatable parts.

 You do have to be careful about the size of the zones. If the LCVP passes through the waypoint in the wrong order it may have problems opening and closing the ramp. You do have to be careful about the size of the zones.
