How does one loop 2 haps??
Let's say I have a "eyes open" and a "eyes closed" hap, and I want the eyes to open and close over and over??
Thanks!!
I don't just want it for eyes, I got other things I want to loop.
-
ok markofkane you evil scientist ... what are you up to now ?? (lol) !![:D] this sounds interesting already !!![:)]

Hi Mark. As you know, the secret of perpetual motion is in this genius Duskrider's turnaround hap:
http://zabaware.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4117
At the last line, the file reloads itself and creates the loop.
>>> So you could "add" your two files, I mean create a file containing all the lines of the two files. You obviously have to change values of "t" in the second one, for a good "open and close".
And then, e.g. if your new file is named "eyes.hap", you add this last line:
\clock [t= ? to adapt] \load [file= eyes.hap]
I hope it'll work.
(Hey you've seen: now I know how to put backslashes on the forum!)... [:D]
>>> Now another solution, a little bit more sophisticated.
You add a line at the end of your file #1, which launchs your file #2. And a line at the end of your file #2, which launchs your file #1.
No guarantee but I like the idea... [:D]
Oops! I edit. Horrible grammatical mistakes. Sure I forgot other ones. Sorry. [:(]
-
Sometimes you just can't see the wood for the trees...well done to Dusky and GT for realising you could do that, the whole idea escaped me and I was ready to say it couldn't be done [^]
-
I will try it. Thanks!!!
OK, the eyes work. Thanks!!!
What about if I want her arms to move a certain way, as if to clap??
I have 2 haps, one before the clap, and one while she claps.
i want to make it look like she's clapping.
-
I'm happy it works.
About your clap haps, maybe you could do the same thing. With a lot of time before getting the perfect movement! [:)][:)][:)]
-
I got 2 haps, but if I can loop them it would be great.
They are attached. Not perfect, but the best I can do.

I'd be happy to give working something out by combining the
two for you Mark. I really haven't worked with the hap files
much at all, Duskrider is the king of hap file creating. [;)]
-
You are right, GamerThom. Duskrider is the king of haps, as you are the king of skins. The number of haps he published on your site is impressing. [:)]
Mark, now I have no doubt anymore: I don't know anything about hap files. [:(]
The loop works fine with haps containing Haptek commands, but with \setreg... Maybe someone has an idea? [?]
-
I'm getting to know what you mean about the problem
concerning the use of the "setreg" command when working
with the Loop hap. I spent over an hour last night trying
to incorporate it into the Loop structure with no success. [:(]
But I will give it another try later today sometime. [;)]
-
Hmm I think I am right in saying that the \setreg command doesn't work properly with \clock commands. I know I was trying it a while back when trying to do animations.
It might work as a one off, and in that case you could have multiple hap files each containing a \setreg command. What you would do then is have your main hap load those other hap files in sequence.
I asked Haptek to improve the uses of \setreg in their next update but you know how long that's gonna take.
-
Yep! About 50 years or so. [;)] [:o)]
-
I'd played with a head going up and down to indicate yes without sucess. The looping sounds good but once you start the loop it needs to be stopped. I may try again, I don't know how she keeps me so busy.

If you can get her to nod, I don't care if she stops, because I can close the Window and reopen after taking a video of the nod.
Also, what is the code for nod?? I can look, I know there is necksidebend, or something, but that not nodding.
-
Hi Carl2! Me too, I like when my bot always says "yes". [:D]
IMHO it's impossible to stop the loop, because it's not a real loop. But something like the GOTO instruction in Basic.
10 (The program)...
...
...
90 GOTO 10
A never-ending program.
If you use JavaScript, you can have the number of loops you want (I did it in some of my little experiments). I don't think it's possible only with Haptek commands. But maybe I am wrong. [:)]

markofkane,
I was trying to use right left to indicate no, the idea is a variation of the nod hap used in VrHaptek up down to indicate yes. I just used it with body_female, the head goes up and down 5 times.
#Haptek Version= 1.00 Name= Startup HapType= script FileType= text
##standard
setswitch [switch= noddy state= a ]

Always good to have her say she understands:
#Haptek Version= 1.00 Name= Startup HapType= script FileType= text
##standard
\setswitch [switch= noddy state= a ]
\Q [yes, I understand.]
[;)]
-
very nice. THANKS!!! Now, how about clapping??[:D][:D][:D]
-
markofkane,
Thanks should go to VR, I remember it because VR's plugin makes her nod, also contains the clapping which I'll copy in the next day or so.
Duskrider,
Heard many good things about you, I remember your name from wayback when.

Markofkane,
The hap for claping 3 times
#HaptekSDK Version= 1.0 HapType= command FileType= text
load[ file= mood_none.hap]
setswitch [figure= body_female switch= h_gest_03 state= a]

Thanks,I got what I needed.

markofkane,
I'd downloaded the Hapexplorer from AI Dreams which I was using yesterday and came across the claping, you should give it a try. It seems to contain almost everything you could need.
