1. How could I create a start/stop action button in a scene for a dance/intercourse by a person/people?
Appreciate the help!
Assuming the dance animation is using timeline, is called "Anim 1", and the timeline plugin is on the atom named 'Person':
Click on the +
You choose Triggers -> UIButton.
You check 'Select atom On Add'
You click on 'Add atom'
Now the new button is added and selected.
Click on 'Button Trigger' then 'Add Click Action'
This will add a new action in the list. Click on 'Settings'
Fill the window like this.
First you select the atom having the timeline plugin (in this case 'Person')
Then you select the thing you want to interact with on this atom. In this case, we choose the timeline plugin.
Then you select the thing you want to interact with on this timeline plugin. In this case, we want to play Anim 1.
Then you click on 'OK' to close everything and it should work.
You can do the same thing to stop an animation (choose 'Stop' or 'Stop and Reset' instead of 'Play').
I recommend you to explore and test things because you can interact with almost anything in a scene by doing things like this
You can add multiple actions on the same button if you want (just click 'Add Click Action' again)
Also you can give a label to the button by clicking on 'Button' on the left (under 'Button Trigger')
