Talk not always activating

Hello again, I'm back with another question! I was having a bit of trouble getting the talk animation to always activate when I'm talking. This is a problem I have with both talk sprites and the phenom sprites. What'll happen is that the character will often times get stuck with just the idle face for the whole segment of me talking, regardless of the mic sensitivity. Other times the sprites animate as expected. It's pretty inconsistent and I haven't been able to solve it with all my fiddling around. It's not an issue I seem to have when I pull up the demo files though.

Thanks for your help!

thanks for bringing this up, I've never seen this happen so it would be really hard for me to fix.

if you can catch it on video, with the "talk threshold" bar visible on the offending layer, that might help me figure this one out if that's ok?

Sure! I've got a video of it (apologies, I sound tired xD;) I think I figured out what was going on and I mention it in the video, but just also have it in text: I have a blink set to the mouth layer so that it can have a different position every now and then. The issue happens when the blink is present, but doesn't when it's not. So I guess if that's the core of the issue, should I go about having that blink animation in a different way?

Also, just to add, "Blink while talking" isn't checked.

that might be the thing. try checking "blink while talking" and copy the "blink" sprite into the "talk blink" slot?

im kinda confused how it's still animating as you talk after you remove the blink. is the talking animation set up somewhere else?

Testing that out, the issue still persists unfortunately. "blink while talking" has the same results. I put a slightly different sprite in the blink talk and could see it picking that one instead.

So far my best solution for this has been to create a mildly long sprite sheet with variations in it for the idle mouth poses, which is honestly good enough for now. I tried doing states for the idle mouth change, but there's a weird jitter/snapping into place of the two frames as they change, so that didn't pan out.

The talk animation is purely set up under the phenom detection. Having a talk sprite or not doesn't seem to affect the animation of talking or otherwise... If that's what you were referring to?

ah i see. i didn't realise you had phonemes on. i think i understand your setup now - cool idea to use a blink to add variation to the idle mouth, your original setup should have been working.

ill check this out, thank you for clarifying.

No problem! Thank you again for the cool software and all the capability it has to do neat stuff
