Hi,

i want to separate the actor from the world file. The actor is created according to this tutorial: http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=actor&cat=build_robot

I moved the in another sdf file and the launch file should spawn it with

<node> pkg="gazebo_ros" type="spawn_model" name="actor1" args="-sdf -file /path/actor.sdf -model spawn_model"/>

This is apparently not working, the world is launched by the launch file, but the actor from this node is not in the world.

How can I separate the actor?

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<sdf version="1.5">
<actor name="actor">
  <skin>
    <filename>../../src/actor_pkg/animations/my_animation.dae</filename>
  </skin>
  <animation name="animation">
    <filename>../../src/actor_pkg/animations/my_animation.dae</filename>
  </animation>
</actor>
</sdf>
