Behavior Switch

The term Behavior Switch means to change an Actor Persona or iProps Action Behaviors.

Diagram of the AML file
Actor iProp	The AML file is either embedded or imported to the actor or iProp. One AML file contains only one set of Perform motions/animations. Each AML file contains one or more presets of motion/animation clips for the Move command. Press X key will toggle among the WASD animations of these presets, run, walk etc.	You may use Hotkeys or right-click to direct the actor to act these motions.

• Basically, an iClone actor is embedded with several mode presets. In each preset, various Motion Clips for moving forward, backward, left, right or even idle movement are defined.

• The definition is saved in an AML file (Animation XML), you may export this file from one iClone actor and then apply it to another iClone actor.

• This feature applies to any iProp only if it is embedded with several Action Clips.

• In the Director Mode, only one preset with clips are listed in the Right-click Menu, and you may use Hotkeys to toggle these motion/animation clips.

  (In the Editor Mode, only one preset with clips can be shown in the Right-click Menu/Perform or Move for controlling the actor or the iProp.)

  Please refer to the Two Methods to Direct the Actor and Two Methods to Direct the iProp sections for more information about the Hotkeys

• The way to switch to another Move preset is pressing the X key anytime as you are recording. The whole set of the moving behavior corresponding to WASD will be replaced by another embedded preset.

• You can create your own Motion/Animation Clips presets by editing the AML file.

• The Multiple Behavior modes are defined in the AML file, which is called Persona for Actors or DramaScript for iProps.
