00:00:00.250 --> 00:00:04.035
The most advanced form of a puppet trigger is a

2
00:00:04.035 --> 00:00:09.330
replay, which allows you to package awesome signature moves.

3
00:00:09.330 --> 00:00:12.026
These are really advanced but super helpful.

4
00:00:12.026 --> 00:00:14.548
And the way it works is you look over at

5
00:00:14.548 --> 00:00:18.212
the properties and you decide what properties you want to

6
00:00:18.212 --> 00:00:23.076
be recorded and look at your triggers and decide, well,

7
00:00:23.076 --> 00:00:25.044
what combinations do I want to make?

8
00:00:25.044 --> 00:00:28.572
And you can essentially package together any kind

9
00:00:28.572 --> 00:00:31.228
of trigger and behaviors that you want.

10
00:00:31.228 --> 00:00:33.610
So here we go.

11
00:00:33.610 --> 00:00:36.812
Let's say I want to I want to hit that F

12
00:00:36.812 --> 00:00:41.248
key, and I'm going to move to the side, and we

13
00:00:41.248 --> 00:00:43.648
want to kind of have another trigger that will always do

14
00:00:43.648 --> 00:00:48.030
that lean and yeah, hand on the hip thing.

15
00:00:48.030 --> 00:00:50.752
So to do this again, I'm just

16
00:00:50.752 --> 00:00:52.384
looking at what's armed for record.

17
00:00:52.384 --> 00:00:55.988
In this case, I'll record everything, and I just want

18
00:00:55.988 --> 00:00:58.290
to remember that I'm going to hit the F key,

19
00:00:58.290 --> 00:01:01.236
and I'm going to hit the record button now.

20
00:01:01.236 --> 00:01:02.240
Here we go.

21
00:01:09.170 --> 00:01:11.832
Okay, so I got a nice little count down

22
00:01:11.832 --> 00:01:14.456
there, and you can see that I've got my

23
00:01:14.456 --> 00:01:18.188
eye gaze input the face, which is the head

24
00:01:18.188 --> 00:01:22.924
tilting the trigger, which is this guy here, right.

25
00:01:22.924 --> 00:01:26.818
The F that I clicked, and the nutcracker jaw,

26
00:01:26.818 --> 00:01:29.930
which is a behavior that's built into this puppet.

27
00:01:29.930 --> 00:01:34.928
And if I play it again, you can see

28
00:01:34.928 --> 00:01:36.870
that the timing was a little bit goofy.

29
00:01:36.870 --> 00:01:39.008
So we're going to talk more about editing later.

30
00:01:39.008 --> 00:01:41.490
Let's just cover this one simple thing.

31
00:01:41.490 --> 00:01:48.442
I want him to lean and keep his hip on hip

32
00:01:48.442 --> 00:01:52.190
a little bit longer so I can actually extend that trigger.

33
00:01:54.870 --> 00:01:58.648
Okay, so somewhere in between there, and we can kind of

34
00:01:58.648 --> 00:02:01.860
decide, do we want them to sit there that long?

35
00:02:03.110 --> 00:02:06.024
Do we want to kind of phase that out so we

36
00:02:06.024 --> 00:02:10.961
can retime all of this for the purpose of simplicity?

37
00:02:10.961 --> 00:02:13.404
Let's say we're happy with that. Okay.

38
00:02:13.404 --> 00:02:16.300
But yeah, you could go in there and retime things.

39
00:02:16.300 --> 00:02:18.844
You can even smooth things out if you

40
00:02:18.844 --> 00:02:20.780
go up to the top there you go.

41
00:02:20.780 --> 00:02:22.972
Of each of these tracks, right?

42
00:02:22.972 --> 00:02:24.998
So that would sort of alleviate

43
00:02:24.998 --> 00:02:27.210
any sort of abrupt transitions.

44
00:02:27.870 --> 00:02:30.080
Let's say we're pretty happy with this.

45
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.068
All I have to do is select all of

46
00:02:32.068 --> 00:02:36.990
that right click and create a replay and trigger.

47
00:02:37.970 --> 00:02:39.520
It's going to show up here.

48
00:02:40.130 --> 00:02:43.876
It's a nice idea to name your triggers, right?

49
00:02:43.876 --> 00:02:45.972
So I would want to hit return,

50
00:02:45.972 --> 00:02:51.018
and I can call this hipitude.

51
00:02:51.018 --> 00:02:53.812
I don't know, that's something.

52
00:02:53.812 --> 00:02:56.520
And I'm I'm going to say that's G.

53
00:02:57.050 --> 00:03:00.310
So when I hit G, it's going to do that whole movement.

54
00:03:01.210 --> 00:03:03.960
So if I'm just anywhere in my timeline now,

55
00:03:05.290 --> 00:03:07.708
even before I'm recording, if I hit G, you

56
00:03:07.708 --> 00:03:10.710
can see that it does that replay.

57
00:03:11.850 --> 00:03:12.764
Okay.

58
00:03:12.764 --> 00:03:15.436
So that's yet another cool way to

59
00:03:15.436 --> 00:03:19.090
have keyboard animations built into your characters.
