VaM 1.x Arousal (triggers)

[n3fr1t]

Hello I receently started with VAM.

I would like to ask for a way to make this animation possible:

When Female reaches arousal stage1 (which is provided by vammoan) her nipples should go through a morph from inverted to perky.

I saw this was asked earlier, but I am not sure if the answer is:
"Cue is also an option.
I guess you can also set an action on the nipple trigger than can raise the nipple morph." <- this is what I am interested in

I have the settings and plugins I think, but I have no idea which would be the best way to trigger this. (and with which plugin: timeline, logicbricks, synergy...)

So would appreciate if someone could provide me like a step by step guide or something, I couldnt find any scene specific like this.

Thank you for the help in advance

A good thing is that you don't have to worry about chosing the wrong plugin to place a trigger because triggers don't care where they are. This leaves the choice of plugin to whatever you prefer and your needs.
You start by analysing what is minimally needed:

• trigger for morph to change from inverted to perky
• knowing when stage 1 happens and trigger the above

VAMMoan 1 has a Triggers section where you can specify triggers for specific states or changes. This might be the simplest option for you as you only need to take care of the morph trigger.
If this is enough no point going over more complicated suggestions.

Hello atani,

Thank you for the quick reply - so in VAMmoan I can set the trigger to the different arousal levels perfect I will check this out, I probably missed it somehow

Thanks again for the help. (where or how can I give you credit) ?

I use those VamMoan 1 triggers a lot. I usually just use the Reach orgasm and End orgasm ones. I'll set the Eyes uncross morph to -0.3 on orgasm and back to 0 at the end. The BJ cheeks balloon morphs are fun to play with too.

Hi SlimerJSpud,

Thanks for the response as well , actually I am pretty new to VAM so my biggest problem is to figure out what does what.

For example I am stuck at this point on the nipple inverted to perky (trigger) (see attached screenshot).

So I am not sure if I should create a state 1 - inverted nipple state, then create a state 2 for perky state, then set it somehow for state 2 to trigger from state 1 once the arousal level 1 is reached?

OR I totally get it wrong, and it should be some other way?

Thanks for the advise in advance

What you're targetting is the nipplecontrol node (green/red squares), but what you want is a morph (shape). Check the morph you want to use as a favourite, then you can set the receiver to geometry and it will show on the geometry list (write the name to find it easier).

Regarding scene structure and triggers, as you don't have much experience it can be handy to imagine what kind of states you expect to have in the scene and write them on a piece of paper. Then you can use that as a guide for the triggers you'll need throught the arousal and non-arousal.

Perfect atani

Thank you so much for the guide and help on this, and also for you @SlimerJSpud for the comments earlier.

Have a nice week both of you.
