Can collision objects be animated like regular mesh objects.
DrenDran:
I'm making a vehicle, that will have a no mount script so players can walk inside, and I was wondering if it was possible to add animations to the vehicle that moved collision meshes too?
phydeoux:
I tried animating collisions with the forklift, but had no luck whatsoever. The collisions always stayed put.

Don't bother. Vehicles like that have been done many times before and they've always sucked because the only way to pull it off is a scheduled loop. I wouldn't waste your time with something I'd probably Fail Bin anyway for killing server performance.

Can't you just intercept onCollision?

No. You can't have animated collision meshes. Actually I can't think of any past-but-not-old game engines that even can. Even then the latest game engines usually just make multiple entities that move to simulate moving an animated collision model.

You can, It should just never be done because it doesn't work all that great.
