Triggering Specific Motions or Talking Scripts

This example presents the methods to switch different voices, expressions and motions for the actor. The use of this examples is:

• The actor tracks the cursor without any idle motion.
• Activate the Loop box to determine if you want to loop the motion.
• Press down one of the buttons (labeled) to have the actor use the motion.
• Press the button again to stop the motion.

The syntax of the API command that causes the actor to act a desired motion is as follows:

CTPluginAPI.Play( Motion Name, Boolean, Delay Time);

• Play: This is the API command to have the actor to perform a specific motion. It is case sensitive.
• Motion Name: Type in the name of the motions that have been applied to the actor to have the actor performs the specific motion.

  Note:

  Please note that the named motions must be in the animation list of the actor.

• Boolean: This is a Boolean value. Set it to True to loop the motion.
• Delay Time: The time (in floating type) for the scene to start playing the selected motion.
