Playing animations on Live2D Characters

[Anomen77]

Hello. I'm making a pretty small game that uses Live2D models instead of sprites. There will only be one character speaking at a time, so modifying code to swap the models is not necessary. However, I'm having a hard time trying to play the animations.

I want to tell the subtitle panel to target the model's animator, but since it's not a UI element I can't link it directly. If I can make the animations work like with the image portraits, that would be all I needed, since I can play whatever I want from the dialogue entry sequences. I've thought of a couple pretty convoluted methods, but I'm sure there must be a simpler way to do it.

Thank you for your time, and for this awesome tool you've created.

Hi,

For animators that aren't on the subtitle panel's Portrait Image (such as Live2D GameObjects), you can use sequencer commands such as AnimatorPlay(). Please see: Cutscene Sequence Tutorials

I had 'speakerportrait' written as the target from the previous tutorial and didn't pay attention to it. Changed it to 'speaker' and swapped the conversation start code from a DialogueSystemController.StartConversation() to a dialogue trigger on the Live2D game object.

Thank you for your time, and sorry for the inconvenience.
