Hypergate Animation

An Important Question

I have noticed that when a hypergate closes, it simply runs the opening sequence in reverse. Is it possible to use a different animation durring the closing sequence?

I don’t believe so.

Okay, so those of you who are devout Stargate fans: how would you do the Supergate animation? Remember, the Supergate closing has to be the Supergate opening in reverse.

Why don't you just use the animation for the closing of a stargate from the show? And for the opening of a hypergate/stargate, you use the reverse of the closing. It would look pretty cool.

And if possible, you could have the graphic for it randomly just have the dialing going on but never locking. And then when a ship enters the hypergate, all the dials lock.
