VaM 1.x Can presents be set to load on trigger

[Toddy]

I want to load a preset using a trigger. While testing it on the Toy Serial plugin I used the load config from the dropdown. That opens the folder for the presets which allows me to then select the one (out of three) that I want. Is there a way to automatically load the preset for the plugin using a trigger?

In an action :

• Atom Receiver : your atom
• Receiver : Preset
• Receiver Target : LoadPresetWithPath > Your path

Create as much actions/buttons as you need with different paths

I am sorry, I realized while following your advice I was using the wrong terminology. Instead of the word preset for the plugin I should have stated configuration. I want to load the configuration for the Toy serial plugin using a trigger. I can open the folder/location with a trigger but I still have to manually select the file to change the configuration.

If your plugin is on an atom, the atom preset will load the configuration of the plugin (if it's done properly).

It is on a atom and loads correctly with the scene. I would like to have the ability to switch the configuration/preset using a trigger. For example: I have three presets in clockwise silver expression 7 with varying expression intensity. I wish to use timeline to trigger the desired preset I created in the clockwise silver plugin. Earlier I mentioned toy serial which I have recently found a simple solution. However, in Clockwise silver expression I am stuck. I may just create a emotion template in timeline which could be better choice.

If you're on a character, yeah that's problematic and will trigger all sorts of physics resets.
If the plugin does not provide a way to load a preset that you can control with triggers, yes, you can't really do much besides scripting everything manually.
