Object Settings For Times Of The Year

Hello,

What about objects in kart export could be marked with a property:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}
Date:


The usual version would be:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}
Date: always


or:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}
Date: false


But if you wanted the object to only be their for Christmas (say a hat) you would have:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}
Date: xmas


And if you wanted the object to only be their for Halloween (say a sign that says Boo) you would have:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}
Date: halloween


That's my idea anyway.

The reason is if you ever get an algorithm to put hats on characters it wouldn't look good. Code can only do so much. I don't really think it can figure out what part of the kart is the head and then put the hat on top of that (with out lots of hard work and time). Best you could do it get is Santa hat on the highest part of the model (or a bumper sticker at the end that says "Happy Holidays").

Possible items for Christmas:

Bowling Ball -> Snowball
Cupcake -> Christmas Pudding
Bubble Gum -> Ice Puddle (with skid marks changes from pink to blue)
Plunger -> Snowball (If it hits you, a squashed snowball will be on your face)
Banana -> Icicle?
