Solved control atom coordinates with a trigger?

[Wakumiko]

Hello,
I want to position an atom at a certain place when a trigger happens. The Move menu has so many possibilities to pose an atom, but I cannot find how to use them in a trigger, like when a button is pressed.
I use timeline for the moment to do this, but it feels like there should be a better, simpler way...

If the position is always fixed, you can maybe try this?

There is no "native" access to that sadly.
Your way of doing it with timeline is perfectly fine, this is a great and efficient hack. AND you can make several anims to position them at several different spots. There is nothing wrong at using alternate methods/hacks to make your scene work.
Geraldo's solution is valid too, it's just different : )

Thanks for the info!
I'm experimenting with both now. Positioner plugin and timeline plugin. I think Positioner is a great option because its more contstricted to one atom, where timeline plugins (that are most likely already in the scene) interact with other timeline plugins and can give some unintended results...

Also very good to know there is no native support for this. Can stop searching...
