Plugins IK for Custom Unity Assets

[upwardpuddle]

I've been using this for a long time. Recently I found it was a lot easier to animate a tentacle if the "head" was locked to the CUA atom. The effectors affecting the "tail" only. Precise positioning of the head is no longer reliant on the position of every effector working together.

By default all effectors are parented to the CUA atom, I undo this so they stay put when I move the CUA. It works great. But every time I load a saved scene, they've reverted to being parented to the CUA, breaking the animations. Any way around Is this kind of the same effect you get by editing the “weight” slider?

I’m confused by this. It seems like if I’m using creator’s assets that use this plugin they will function but if I try to add them to a CUA myself they just unlink when I save/reload.

Just messing around more and think I found where I was going wrong. I was renaming the ik atoms to make it easier to identify. It was breaking them. Now it works!

Good you got it working. I've spent a long time messing with it since my post. What's been working really well for me is creating a subscene that the CUA and effectors are tied to. My problem with parenting undoing itself was solved by using the subscene atom as the parent.
What surprised me is it even worked if I loaded this subscene in a different scene. Even multiple instances of the same one.

Yeah, I went and checked your scene to see how you had it set up so I could do the same thing. I’m really shocked too, I was certain having more than one duplicate subscene would just break everything. I haven’t messed with the weight settings yet, but I’ll have to start screwing with that now that I got things going.
I’ve been running into issues with the cua vamifier plug-in, since Some creators make assets that need vamifier to look good; then you get screwed when you subscene it to use IKcuas because the asset just looks like crap. But thankfully your asset works fine without vamifier. Thanks for that

Not sure what's happening, but ever since yesterday this specific plugin doesn't work. It doesn't work on objects that already have it and adding it to new ones doesn't work either - it just keeps the "red" background.

Error logs say this: "!> Exception during compile of imakeboobies.IKCUA.6:/Custom/Scripts/IKCUA.dll: System.Security.SecurityException: Security Check Failed (MemberRestriction) : [IKCUA, IKCUA.dll] : The member 'UnityEngine.Application::OpenURL' is prohibited and cannot be referenced
at DynamicCSharp.ScriptDomain.SecurityCheckAssembly (System.Byte[] assemblyData, Boolean throwOnError) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0"

It talks about system security so I checked the Security tab and nothing there seemed to help either. Tried reverting to an old IKCUA - those don't work either. Reverted my VAM to 1.22.6 - also didn't work. Deleted all instances of IKCUA and everything labeled "IKCUA" in my VAM files. Reinstalled IKCUA and still - broken. I have no idea what to do next.

Any help at all is appreciated. This was one of my main plugins I use.

yeah same error, System.Security.SecurityException: Security Check Failed (MemberRestriction)
im pretty new if someone could explain

Probably the new security update broke it. But then weird that it didn't work when EtchySketchy downgraded.

looks like you need to have FINALIK to build this proj?

I had to downgrade all the way to 1.22.0.3 for it to work.

Ah, I don't remember the version numbers by heart but the update before this applied the security patch, and the current one fixed issues with some plugins caused by the security patch (but evidently not this one). So it makes sense of you needed to roll two versions back.
