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.

Have you tried flipping it horizontally? What have you tried?
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.
Glad it helps.
