Hi c4cc…. hope you have figured this out by now…. your questions are very specific to your puzzle and your own logic flows…making it very hard, at least for me, to dive in and find a quick answer.

My initial guess is the logic timing….do you have a timing map or visual that shows all the things you have going on with all these time events? Once you start programming based on time..things can get lost, missed etc making it hard to diagnose. Have you added print to console statements within your loops to diagonose whats firing when and if its ocurreing at the right time?

Ok…you have what appears to be a shelf system or at least one end of a shelf system. It seems you may be wanting to make it a dynamic shelf layout. You seem to have some conditions for the shelf heights from frames 10-19, 20-30 and then 31-40. Could you provide me some detail as to what you want this to do. The current method will produce some issues so we have to redo it a tad.

There are two vertical pieces that just scale and then it appears you want shelving to disappear at certain values. Is this based on thickness, shelf height, what logic has to be implemented?

I am proposing we redo this without bones. Without knowing the detail of your project I think this can be done with just shape keys and some puzzle logic. Please email detail at xeons3dlab [at] gmail [dot].com

Ok….well…could you send me a zip file of your project and blend file.

The other questions I have is why you are not using the Event Puzzles of When Clicked when you are trying to use the object as the clicking point vs. this raycast method you have created? What was the reasoning behind it?

If you send me you project zip with blend file I will provide you some puzzles that will do what you are wanting.

do both shape key objects share the same color?

Well your first link is based on Unity…so having to skip that example.
The second link is Gliftek Plugin….and will for $29 you might want to buy it and see if it works for you but it states it only works for V3D: “3.8 pre3 and under.”

If you need an ocean that will interact with the hull of your boat then you may have to create an ocean and texture it and create multiple mesh and texture options and then use shape keys to animate the ocean. Otherwise you are limited to an animated texture map.

Try this order of things and see if it helps.
Save your puzzles.
Export your GLTF
Reload your app manager page.

When you open the app manager there is a gear icon on the left side. If you click on this it will open a window and at the top of that window it provides you the option to designate a folder. Create the folder you want to associate with the version of the app you are using and thats it.

We have similar issues. Not saying this a great solution but one we use.

For each update to our system we keep the Blender release in use, the verge3D version and all associated plugins that may have been used. We also make the Application Manager use a specific folder for that version of blender and Verge3d…so there is no accidentaly updating an app.

When a new version of Blender and V3D is ready to use…we install the new B3D add the V3D update and change the App Manager folder. As long as you do this you can keep many concurrent versions of blender and V3D running simultaneously or archive them and have no issues…. or at least none that we have run into yet.
