[Bf-committers] Fully qualified names for channels in actions?

[Jarred de Beer]

Perhaps it's not the most 'convenient' solution, but something you can do is
key the 'Delta Location' transform (find it in the objects panel).  It seems
to be like a layer on top of the 'Transform' data.  You can then place them
anywhere in world space and they'll move relative to that point.

Hope it might help,
Jarred
