I'll see if I can throw together a simple test scene that illustrates the issue.
I'm relieved that it doesn't seem to be a PresetLoader issue.@bill_prime - Yeah, I think you may be right, and not a problem with the PresetLoader plugin at all (apologies @ky1001 ).
Just made a simple scene with a Button trigger to randomly load one of four Appearance presets from a nested subdir. It works fine, until I add a MergeLoadPresetWithPath action to the Button triggers (which is what I had done in my original scene to assign a Clothing preset) - then I get the aforementioned behaviour whereby random colour values and textures load on the first instance of the Appearance preset.
Hello. Thank you for using the plugin.Hi! this is really useful! Is there a way you could put in a slider or something to set the timer to an exact increment?
I'm sorry, I'm not good at English, so I didn't understand the story about the KittyMocap scene. PresetLoader is not included in Dependencies, so I think it is not used in the scene.i was using it in one of Kitty mocaps older scenes. the try on one. she has the change interval at odd times and isnt always the same interval.

this one... i tried using it with the triggers but there doesn't seem to be that option to use random preset from folder.. or favorites.
What timer plug in would you recommend?
I added it to her scene to swap out a different outfit randomly instead of the 4 she had as presets.. I couldn't figure out what option to click to trigger your plug in during the time of the change she had in . i swapped the triggers that were loadpresetwithpath command with preset switcher plug in.. didn't seem to trigger the change aside from a general person change from my folder, but not the favorite clothe item i had tried to specify..
Sorry, I'm a little confused. It seems I misunderstood what you wrote. I thought you were suggesting adding a precise timer function to the PresetLoader. But you were actually asking how to incorporate a PresetLoader into an existing scene, right?Cool! lmao and thanks!

@bill_prime Thank you for your help.
I got it. I'm glad your problem was resolved.Both actually. although now that I know how to correctly add it to a trigger, you probably don't have to make it a precise slider anyway as the trigger can do that instead
@vertigoeighty, @bill_primeHello, I'm not sure if you're still making updates, but since the latest release of VAM, they've added an overlay option for presets to clothing/appearance/etc. It'd be great to at least have an option for clothing overlays for things like makeup/accessories so that those attributes can be randomized while the rest of the clothing remains consistent. Thanks again for your great plugin, I've made great use of it in the latest scene that I released.

I may have failed to write the message, so I will write it again.
It took a while, but I fixed it so that Chothing doesn't come off when loading presets. This is valid only in VAM1.21 or later, and when used in VAM1.20, it will take off the clothing like the previous version of PresetLoader. If you don't mind, could you please check the function and operation?
Lock, Overlay Preset, and Merge Load functions can be used when set on each item on the VAM side and on the Preset tab.
As a point of concern, if each Preset is valid,
"Keep Appearance Clothing", "Keep Appearance Hair" and "No Clothing" will be overridden. This behavior itself is the same as the previous version. What do you think?
Also, in the previous version, I had to take off the clothing when loading presets, which should have been a countermeasure for some kind of problem, but I don't remember well. It seems that there is no problem at present, but I would be grateful if you could let me know if you notice anything.
I just saw this message, will try to test it out today or tomorrow.
@ky1001 Sorry, can you please try again to say what you changed? I don't understand. Maybe can you say what it was before and after the update.

Thank you for confirmation.Yes! I just tried it and it is very effective. The original issue for me was that "Locked" addon clothing items (makeup, accessories, etc) were getting overwritten when the clothing preset shuffled. In version 19, this is not the case. Very useful change, I look forward to the official update. Thanks!
For the record, this is effective even without the need of clicking the "Keep Appearance Clothing" button (which is meant to keep clothing consistent between APPEARANCE presets). Which in my opinion, this is working as 100% intended.
Update contents (ver.19):
The following changes are valid only for VAM1.21 and above.
1) Supports Preset Lock function added in VAM1.21. Enable Lock on the VAM side.
2) Supported Merge Load function and Overlay function of each Preset. Enable Merge Load on VAM side.
3) Slightly slowed down PosePreset load times due to changes made for 1 and 2.
Notes:
The behavior is almost the same as the previous version, but if you feel that the behavior when "Keep Appearance Clothing" and "Keep...
As a method to turn on the "Load Presets" button of PresetLoader immediately after loading the scene, there are methods such as using CollisionTrigger, using Trigger with animation such as SceneAnimation, Timeline, AnimationPattern, etc. In any case, select the target Person for Trigger's "Receiver Atom", this plug-in for "Receiver", and "Load Presets" for "Receiver Target". If you turn on Trigger, the PresetLoader's "Load Presets" button will be pressed once.Is there any way to use this plugin to automatically load the presets on scene load, like scene ninja loads appearance/plugin presets?
Also, can I merge load presets?
