GENERATE RANDOM SPEED FOR TIMELINE ANIMATION

MetalVam · Monday at 9:29 PM

I've try some scene that have AUTO SPEED feature for their animations but I haven't been able to figure out how the creator did it.
I've tried ACTRANDOMIZER but unfortunately the female doesn't follow the same speed at the male in timeline.

Is there an plug in or would you guys be able to show me step by step how to generate random speed for both character at the same time?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

This is the plugin I've noticed a few creators using.

To use it you chose the person for Atom, set the timeline plugin as Receiver, and set Target for "Speed". Then play around with the other settings to randomize it how you like.

Random speed for one person is one thing and rather simple, but for 2 persons to have randomised but identical speeds between them is a much more difficult challenge. Honestly, probably the easiest way to do that would be by having both persons animated in a single Timeline, and then you could randomised their combined animation speed. Attempting to have the same result in more than one Timeline (in 2 persons for example), with random speeds but "synced", would require a much more complicated setup, where a random value would be generated and then fed to a trigger that controls speed for both.

It's quite easy:

Create an empty, add a Timeline on it
In options, unsync that timeline from the others
Add two tracks: one is the animation speed of the first char, one is the animation speed of the second chara
Create several animations in a group, example: MyRandomSpeed/Speed1, MyRandomSpeed/Speed2, MyRandomSpeed/Speed3...
Make these animation the length you want, and change the animation speed over the course of each animation
Ensure each animation of the group use MyRandomSpeed/* for the next animation in Sequence

Finally:
Start/stop that timeline animation when your playe enables auto-speed

Rince and repeat for each animation you'd want to do that for.

The good thing about the forum is that you always find someone that presents easier ways to do something

I'm actually writing an update for sliders in VAMStory which will handle "auto-mode" on the sliders ^^
I was annoyed at doing this manually that I thought it had it's place in Story/Actions haha.

And a button toggle somewhere to show/hide actions please. Handy when they load hidden but you need to make some changes, or there's overlap with other actions.

LOL. To be honest, I thought the exact same thing for the halloween scene juggling with 6 actions during scripting/editing. I definitely need to do that lol.

Thank you for all the advice, to be honest I'm trying out some of the scenes that have about 100 animations.
No way I have the time to adjust every animations, so I'll just stick FLOATRANDOMIZER for now. It's not perfectly sync, but it's much better than ACTRANDOMIZER.

I noticed ATANI utilizes VAMSTORY in his scene so I probably try to play around with it.

You can use the "Speed" param if you want.
Speed is the "Global" slider, so you just need to set it for both of your character : )
It will speed up every animation that way.

Here's how I've done this before:

Create a UISlider
In UISlider triggers, add an action to control the Speed of each Timeline plugin you want. You can add the two person Timeline plugins here.
Use FloatParamRandomizer plugin to randomize the UISlider > Trigger > value.
You'll see the slider ui move as well, and all Timeline plugins should update Speed (Global) in sync.

I actually figured it out last night, once check the "show hidden atom" in edit mode, it shows you how creator what plugin they use in the scene.
Thank you though, this method works the best so far.
