Reset Variant Set with python

[lbs_markus_s]

Hi,

i have a variant set with some Clips in the animation tab. Ist a sequential Animation. With a touchsensor you can play one Clip after another.

So how can i reset the variant set if i'm in the middle of all Clips and want it to start with the first one again

Thx

Hi,

Create another Variant Set to reset the clips.

e.g. resetAnim('Clip1'); resetAnim('Clip2')... in Script tab

Hi Dan,

i know about that but this is not really working for me.

for example if you have a variant set with 2 Clips ..open and closing a door

variant set open/Close

clip1 = open

clip2 = Close

sequential Animation

so if someone is clicking trough the animations with a touchsensor and the door is left open .. you want to reset the whole Scene and all doors are closed before a second person starts with this Scene

so you can use a second variant set to Close all doors, but in our first variant set open/Close the next clip will be Close the door. So if the door is already Closed and you click the touchsensor again it Plays the closing Animation again.

Ok, I see what you mean.

There needs to be a way to reset the VSet sequence.

I'm not sure how to access that.

You also can keep track of your variant execution yourself.

Something like that:

door_open variant script: door = True

door_close variant script: door = False

door_toggle variant script: if door: selectVariantSet('door_close') else: selectVariantSet('door_open')

reset variant script: selectVariantSet('door_close')

Hi Markus,

the attached example is also using python in the VSets and checks the "if" state before playing the close door animation. Hope this helps.
