Trouble with a basic VPS project and interactivity

I am a new with 8th wall. I continue to fail trying to get a VERY SIMPLE VPS project to work. I am not an expert coder and this is super frustrating. I know i am missing one simple procedure call. ChatGPT has not been helpful

I want the app to identify one of 3-4 locations in a park, and have specific objects appear and animate at the site.

I can get the objects to pop in but not move. I tried inserting console messages to report the objects location - but the script does not get that far. The console says the scripts are loading… I have eliminated all of the script errors, but still no functionality. I have watched several of the tutorials - but there seems to be huge differences in the code from just a few months ago - and again - I am not a coder….

Can you land your changes and share the project with the support workspace?

I think I shared the site with you. Andrew Brown

I have a very basic script to move the balloon in the site in one direction. I have animated a few glb files to circumvent my limitation for now, but in the end - I want to know how to animate spawned objects. I MUST be doing something wrong.

I would approach it by creating a custom component that first listens for the GLTF_MODEL_LOADED event and then sets the animationClip on the GLTFModel Component once the model has been loaded.
