Changing a characters animation

I have a character in a certain pose and facing the left side, I want to change this to them facing and pointing to the right? Is there a way to do this so it doesn't just revert back to the original pose? I seem to be able to get it almost flick and then return to the original post. I just can't seem to get the new state to stay and face the correct way.

  • Are you saying that the character is facing X and you want to make face Y at a certain point based on a trigger or point in time?

    Or are you saying you have a character in one pose and just want to swap that character to a different pose?

  • Hello,

     

    Thank you for your responses. my apologies for taking a while to respond to them. I have been on annual leave.

     

    Tom this is correct, so I have character x facing some buttons and want them to change to facing the other way when all the buttons have been clicked on the left side. I have buttons on the right side and I'm trying to get the character to change to the right side. When I have the trigger set to do this it changes it for a millisecond and then back to the state of facing left.

     

    Is this something that is possible?

     

    Thanks.

  • This should be no problem. Create buttons with visited states. For the character, I'd create two states with character facing left and right. Then a trigger to change the state from left to right when the state of all buttons are visited. I created a mock up.

    I suspect in your case, there's a trigger or some action causing the character to revert back to the normal state.

      Thank Tom, I had done this but must have set the triggers wrong. Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
