As in, some modifiers don’t trigger? Not that I know of. Could it be whatever is triggering them though.

@@TAPgiles i had this thing where you could suck up ammo balls and they would modify the ammo variable when they got close enough to you, then destroy. a few at a time would work fine, but when youd suck up a lot at once, youd start getting MORE ammo than you should. like youd collect 18 ammo and be given like 22. i ended up solving the problem by just moving the ammo drops farther apart lol.

I show how to do that right near the start. There are 3 switches. Turn them off to turn off procedural animation.

@ thank you bro🙏

Impact sensors can trigger based on the label. A tag is simply a point in space, so that’s not relevant to an impact sensor. Alternatively you could put health modifiers on the objects, with the impact mode, and set whatever damage you want to set on them.

@@TAPgiles yeah i think i was assuming tags worked more like in LBP. in LBP tags were both a point in space, and a way to label objects... i think. ill probly do that. thanks for your replies and your documentation of Dreams!

Oh really? I’m sorry, it seemed pretty step by step to me. You can pause between steps, or play it at a slower speed if that would help.

Is your rig far away from the centre of the scene, perhaps? If something is really far from the centre, the math for positioning gets twitchy and inaccurate.

I show this around 18:30. Basically, turn off the teleporter.

I'm not involved in Dreams anymore. But to give you a start, you can use a mover pointing up and a rotator with a random spin. Power those briefly to launch it into the air and let it tumble naturally. As for the popup readouts, it's a bit complicated. Uses exclusive gates, but I won't get into the full details, it's just pretty complicated, I'm sorry. The more you want to control how something works, and make it cooler and more fancy and custom, the more complex the code or the logic will be. So, maybe keep it simpler until you can figure out how to add whatever special effects you want to it.

If I remember correctly, add the sound effect, tweak it and set it to "once" mode. Then power it when you want the sound to trigger.

It would be difficult with this, perhaps. Or at least, you'd have to set it up differently with extra logic for each space, something like that. Main thing is, now you know this technique you can expand it to work how you want it to work. 👍👍

It's an application on Playstation called Dreams. 👍

Here's an old video of mine, on getting a timeline to loop in different ways. Hopefully one of the techniques will help 👍 th-cam.com/video/gLZ-TcFQXhs/w-d-xo.html

You could up the impasto setting. Or copy the paint stroke so there are 2, at 90 degrees running along the same path.

They should be able to walk up stairs anyway. You may need to adjust the stair height to get it to work nicely. And/or adjust the puppet collision so it’s not hitting the stairs.

You can copy individual strokes of paint and move them between frames. Not entire frames though. I’d recommend doing it the way anime does it, where they have multiple layers of the character. Some stay the same (just don’t change the frame), some change (like the mouth). Your can also simply animate the position of paintings. Like move the limbs around etc.

You're very welcome! Glad my work is still useful for folks ☺️

It is, isn’t it? Check the description for the scene.

Watch it in edit mode, to see what’s lighting up to understand what is happening and why.

Maybe you added a sculpt or something which is colliding with the puppet itself which would give it a shove. If so, make sure it’s non-collidable.

@@TAPgiles So I haven't added anything to the scene yet, I'm only working on the character right now. I somehow got it to stop moving on its own, but now when I'm animating the up/down head motion, it's doing THAT on its own. I like the motion, but I'm not getting any control from the right stick yet, even though I've followed the video. At least to the best of my ability, it goes a little fast. Thank you for making this video, by the way. It's been very helpful so far.

Presumably you’re using a timeline to animate it up or down. A timeline will just run by itself until you control it, which would be later in the video.

If you mean the rig demo toward the end, that’s credited at the start. It’s by Martin Nebelong. Or martinitydk is his PSN.

Nope. It’s just a short I send to people to show how to do that one thing; it’s muted on purpose.

Nice :D

LOL XD

If you try using the rig in the collection (linked in the description), does that one work? It could be something to do with collision settings or something...

You might need to use “keep changes” on the keyframe and pulse it on to set it to that position-something like that.

Aw thanks! Yeah, my Dreams work is over now, sadly. But I'm glad what I've done over the years is still helping people! <3

Did you keyframe the position of the puppet group itself? If so, that will lock the puppet into place. You should avoid keyframing the puppet object as a whole, otherwise it won't be able to move.

@TAPgiles thanks a million! After tinkering with it for a few days i finally got it! The puppet would return as a whole to the exact spot the key frames were active!

So you know how you split the left stick to get the X? If you split the X, you'll get +/-, where + is how positive it is, and - is how negative it is. So you can use + to power an animation shimmying one direction, and - to power an animation shimmying the other direction. Hope this helps :D

Make sure you have the controller sensor attached to an object.

Yes! th-cam.com/video/xvPqC8F9jcY/w-d-xo.html :D
