Duik screws up
When I rig a puppet with duik and then I have to change stuff at the moment I am having to go back and delete the controllers and expressions and then re rig the part again after I have made an edit. I cannot see any other way to do this. But then when I re rig the controller never goes works properly. It end up moving to a weird position away from the anchor point once I make the IK. I can’t figure out why but its becoming very time consuming and frustrating. Anyone have any idea why this might happen?

Sounds like you’re either re-naming layers, or you have some code that you haven’t erased.
If you’re re-rigging – it’s better to start the whole thing from scratch each time, or get very good at re-coding each element.
Does that help?

Hi yeah its just very boring and tedious starting from scratch. I figured out that when I re-rig I have to make sure that the root layer i.e. the pelvis for example has to be at position 0,0,0 or the controllers will not attach in the right spot. Also I have noticed that I cannot rotate the master without it screwing the puppet up. I can mover the position but not the rotation.
Another thing is that the whole point of making the puppet in this way is so that I can easily move it around by grabbing hold of a controller and moving it in the comp however unless I grab on the x, y axis it will often accidentally get moved on the z axis which is not good. Is there a way to lock the z axis but still be able to move the controller freely without having to only move one axis at a time?

Apply this expression to the position. (you could change the last zero to some other z position you’d like to fix it to)
[value[0], value[1], 0]
