Plugins Timeline

[VamEssentials]

I've been having this issue lately where I import in a segment 2 and it shows in the list but does not play. I go to segment 2 and click play and it jumps from that back to segment 1 and won't play segment 2. Even if I click play on the individual animation within timeline on segment 2. All persons have segment 2 on them. Anyone familiar with this issue?

@VamEssentials I know I'm months late on follow ups, but if you make a very simple repro I could take a look when I can (a few weeks at least). If there are no errors you could enable Logs in More, and you should see if something stops it right after you play it.

Hello! I've been scouring the forums for an answer/solution, to no avail.

Simply put, I am trying to play an animation (containing only facial expression targets) through a collision trigger, whilst the main animation (body targets) is still playing.

My current setup is; Two layers - one for body animation and one for facial expressions. These are synced up. I have a simple "Intro"-animation, that segway into a "random/ AnimationName" that then randomly plays between 5 animations.

However, what I'd like to add is an independent facial expression animation to play when a collision is triggered, without disrupting the body animation, and takes over the current expression animation. The issue I'm having is connected to poses, as it automatically takes on the pose of the "Intro"-animation. Copying and applying the pose of one of the 5 "random/ AnimationName" does not work, as it only reverts back to the "Intro"-pose.

Does anyone have a decent solution to what I'm trying to do?

Since the last updates I have an issue that I cannot save poses for animations. This occurs randomly. I assume that there is a connection to other plugins but can't find the responsible plugin.
I never had it with 283, but it does occur with 283 if I deinstall 287 from an "infected" atom and install 283.
The problem persists if I delete all other plugins from an infected atom and reload the timeline plugin.

Sometimes even older saves from the same scene get this effect, although saving poses should have worked at the time of saving them...

If this problem starts in one scene it starts to spread to other scenes. I've solved this one time by deleting almost all plugins and reinstalling them (slowly). Afterwards it worked for some weeks, but now I have the same error agiin.

Any ideas?

Still not fixed (version 287)

When I click "Use Current Pose" in the pose tab, nothing happens. Has anyone experienced this?

Wanted to come back and share my findings. It seems like my problem was using VRDollz's "Static Piercing Belly". Went through a whole process of trial and that seems to be the one thing that prevents me from using the "Use Current Pose" feature. Can't say for sure if it's an issue with the item itself or the plugins it relies on.

Hello everyone.
Could you please tell me how the “Next Segment” works?
I am using 2 buttons:
1 - Play Segmrent A
2 - Next Segment

When I press 1 -> 2 - Segment does not change.
Or does this button perform a different function?

Hi.
I've already reported a similar bug one year ago, sadly the author seems very busy and didn't get the time to look into this yet.

From what I understand, changing the segments doesn't work properly, and this consequently renders other actions useless.

When I use built-in triggers to create sound effects, if the animation automatically switches, it will repeatedly produce sound

Is there a way to use timeline like a state machine? For example, to get to anim 5 from anim 1 you could define a path of animations to flow through for example Anim 1 -> Anim 2 -> Anim 4 -> Anim 5.

Yes, recently I have been experiencing similar problems with the pose tab not working on some atoms. I know the save file has been corrupted somehow and I can't figure out how to fix it without rebuilding the scene from scratch. i have been using 283 for a long time now and I have never had issues like this before. Could online updates be happening that we are not aware of?

Hello! I'm hoping this is the right place to post but I need help.

I've spent literally hours trying to find someone with the same problem and finally gave in and made an account.

I for some reason can not save a pose under the pose tab in Timeline. The buttons to "use current pose" and "copy current pose" aren't greyed out, but both do absolutely nothing. Sometimes if I load a default scene to test it out it'll work fine but the minute I load up one of my scenes it stops working, including if I make a new scene afterwards to test again (after having it not work in my scene)

Any insight would be lovely as I've run out of ideas for trouble shooting.

Oh my God yes! I just made a post about this. I couldn't find anyone talking about it. Any solutions?

Glad you found a solution. I'm not using that but still experiencing this issue unfortunately

Thanks to @zeinaheart7 i Found the issue at my end, and it was the "static head scrunchie by VRDOLLZ" which uses custom plugins for clothing. So check if you have any clothing items that use custom plugins.

Turns out a static jewelry by VRDollz was the issue for me as well. I had to remove the offending item, save, and then reboot the game. Hope this gets patched at some point if possible!

This was the same issue for me, could not copy/save/apply poses in Timeline. Removed the Nurse Tag Static and restarted, works now. Thanks!

Hey, everybody!
Could you please tell me why animation automatically starts when opening a scene.
Can I choose the animation myself?

I have 3 animations and starts 2. I need 1.

Hi.
Huge thanks to Acid Bubbles for this amazing plugin. You made Vam into far more than just a curiosity.

I've been using timeline for a while now and searched the documentation, but I can't quite figure this one out.
Say I have:

-1 segment with 2 layers (main and hands for instance)
-animations in groups (main1/1 main1/2 hands1/1 hands1/2 etc.)
-animations are looped and their sequences are set via main1/*

Now say some hand gestures fit into main1/1 but not main1/2. Can I somehow set exceptions on the randomness or am I always dependent on the slave/not slave mechanic?
To put it another way, can I specify which hands1 triggers with which main1?

Doesn't seem possible, but it would be awesome to have something like that.
It would allow for a lot of variety in animations without having a million sub-animations on groups with the variety built-in.

Big cheers.

@alexmname

In the sequence tab you can turn off "auto play on load". 2nd option from the top.
You probably have that ticked on your animation 2.
Hope that helps.

There is a bug I don't know if you are aware of.
When you click on ''remove target'' it deletes ''audio trigger'' targets too. Even though it is not selected.

Checking the target tab it shows only the ''head'' as selected.

Picture for what I mean

What version are you using?

Hello ! How do I avoid that the atom moves back to the first pose even though loop is deactivated ? At the end of the timeline the pose should be kept and it should not jump back to the initial pose. Thank you !

After creating an animation, "detaching" and "moving" the "root" of the character seems to completely break the animation.

IS there a way to fix it?
As in fix the animation retaining the new position of the root?
