hey there! have you looked at Spacedog's EasyGaze, finger and kiss plugins? The kiss plugin will enable you to apply mouth and eye movements when a certain 'target atom' is within range. The Finger plugin do the same thing for hand movements

This is probably very stupid question.. but the guide says 'position it'. How do you position the trigger? If I manually move it, then when I change the view (e.g. with mouse), the trigger moves too - it's position keeps moving. Can't see how to fix it's lovation. Thanks for any help.
