Have you tested your theory?

Create a simple animation. Create a play animation puzzle to stop its playback after reaching a specific frame. Conduct your next animation and see what happens. You can do this with a simple text cube project….animated the cube in a given direction over a set number of frames.
Then create a v3d project. Use the play animation puzzle and select your cube animation.
Then create another puzzle like animate parameter and conduct another animation operation on it.

If the animate parameter animation doesnt affect the position of the animation controlled in your keyframes…it should work very well and allow you to end your new animation sequence in a state that matches the postion in the key framed aniamtion.

However, if you have a key frame animation and you have to create another anim parameter at specific key frames… you will have to determine if at a specifc frame the key frame animation will stop or not and do you have to resume it when the new animation is done. If the answer is yes…then again you need to make sure your anim parameter aniamtion leaves the cube in the same location you started from so that you don’t get a “skip”.

Alternatively you could just do all this via key frames. Play animation frame 0-30 and then play animation frames 60-90 then when done go back to playing aniamation frame 0-30 etc.

There should be no stuttering unless you programmatically or key frame the stutter to ocurr.

You can get the values of the sliders using the HTML Get Prop Value and the slider HTML ID.
You can then assign it to a variable or do as need to via puzzles.

What V3D settings do you use for your camera?

Proof of concept.
Here is a simple key driven project that moves an armature around directly. No object,no empties…etc.

Demo : H key moves it in the X. J key moves it in the Y

OHHHH….Well. I am sure someone here has a more technical answer for you but the answer is in the details of the question itself.

aramatures are special objects that can be manipulated by puzzles, moved, rotated, etc but a user can not select them….as they are not visible to users.

however, if you want a user to interact with an armature I would recommend parenting the armature to an Empty or an object and then moving it around that way.

Ok…so attached is a image that will help you with what you need and get it working. What I mean by that is the information will appear in the console and it should move the associated objects in the list.

The issue is how you have laid out the puzzles. In your example the print to console commands are outside of the event input puzzles…so it will only give you the value at the start of the applicaiton. To make it give you the data you need it has to be inside the event input puzzle. This also is true for the set object position puzzles. They currently do not have any reason to execute other than on initial load.

Hope this helps.

I think you will find you have created a slider…you can validate that by looking at the HTML and sliding the slider. You can also validate the input is updating your variable by using print to console using your variable and watch the values change as you use the slider.

If you want to see the effects more directly you could use a Set Cube Rotation and then assign the variable to one of the three axis and then when you move the slider it will rotate the cube.

And perhaps you have done all this…but from what I can see it should be working

If you are trying to decide which 3D platform to learn and or develop V3D on, I recommend Blender. It’s free which is great but why pay for tools that can produce the same result. Lastly look at the activity and number of threads in the Verge3d blender section vs Maya and Max. The blender community is far more active on the Verge3d forum.
