skin / bodygroups animation setup

Bodygroups
I imported this script as a rig script for this model I am animating. It worked reasonably well at first, but several keyframes in it won't accept any more input. I can't seem to change the bodygroups worth mud. It still accepts keyframe input, just not with any other bodygroup. I am an animation enthusiast and I am at somewhat a loss. Is it me that is at fault? Any help is appreciated.

How I did it (not sure if it is the proper way) is I made a bookmark that was at 0 on the slider, pasted it where i wanted to change it, changed the body group, then repeated. I was able to make this: https://youtu.be/tdugn9sSFt4 using that method.

It seems though as of right now no matter how you placed a bookmark. the 3rd bookmark keeps wanting to jump to 36 when i click and try dragging the slider. which it doesnt do anything to stop it.

I know this is an old thread, but if you animate in the graph editor, just grab the key and slide it up or down. It'll fix those issues.

Thanks for the replies. I'll give these a try sometime. As of right now, I'm kind of looking forward to a higher-end computer as my current PC can't seem to run like it used to (it's a sorry little Notebook PC with a mere Intel Celeron 900 single-core processor, a measly Intel GMA 4500M chipset and 2GB RAM :steamsad:). It was never really this bad until after it recovered from a junkware virus. Now SFM seems to be a performance guzzler. :-\

I just exported the animation and replaced the animset with a new version of itself. It "fixes" it, but the arm is gone now?? i looked in the graph editor and the lines that represent it are just... gone? They dissapear after a while... I loaded an old version of that session and sure enough, the sliders line thingies were gone at some point as well... I have no idea what happened or what *is* happening but all i know is that exporting the and reimporting the animation on a clone model solves most issues...

also im a restricted account and for some reason i can post on this thread which brings me joy because i get to help others XD

I figured out the problem if the tangent is set on spline then it will skip to the last skin/bodygroup
But when you said it to linear it works perfectly

It worked that one time but when I closed the session out it went back to not working but the slider for skins works perfectly so something it’s right with the bodygroup slider
