Radial Menus for Different MD Props

ClosedActionable MD Props

Props of this type do not have hierarchy levels (except the hotkey pages). All behavior motions will appear when the MD Prop is clicked in MD mode.

Up to 10 behavior motion triggers can be displayed on the radial menu.
ClosedState Switch MD Props

Transition Enter / Exit occupy the same hotkey.

Before interaction, the radial menu displays the (A) Transition Enter and (B) Perform motion triggers.

Choosing the triggers in (B) will make the character perform the Transition Enter and Perform motions.
 

When activated, the radial menu displays the (A) Transition Exit and (B) Perform motion triggers.

  
ClosedBi-directional MD Props

Two different motions are assigned to "Point A" and "Point B".

Behavior motions of both position points are displayed.

To let the character interact with "Point A" first, create a navmesh encompassing the MD Prop.
ClosedPortable > Base Template MD Props

This type of MD Prop is composed of several sub-props for specific purposes. These sub-props are: "Position Point", "Placement Point" and "Object".

  1. Position Point - Character stands on top of the position points to interact with the sub-props. Position points do not contain behaviors.
  2. Placement Point: The target for placing objects.

    Transition Enter / Exit occupy same hotkey.

    Before interaction, the radial menu displays only the picking-up commands, no matter which dummy is clicked.

     

    After the object is taken, the placement point's radial menu displays only the put-down commands.

    		 
  3. Object: An actual prop for the character to pick up.

    The Object contains not only the Pick Up / Put Down motions.

    Only when the object is taken by characters, can the radial menu displays the object's behavior motions.

     

    It you want to take out the object, you need to click on the character, choose the Object > Take Out command from the radial menu.

    		 
ClosedPortable > Placement Point MD Props

This type of MD Prop is composed of two sub-props: "Position Point" and "Placement Point" for the character to place objects.

  1. Position Point - A spot for the character to stand on to interact with the sub-props. Position points don't contain behaviors.
  2. Placement Point: Objects are placed on top of this target spot.

    Transition Enter / Exit share the same hotkey.

    Only when the character has taken an object (previous section), can the radial menu show the behavior motion command.

     

    If the object is put down on the placement point, then you can pick it up again using the trigger command in the radial menu.
