how do i use a delay effector (essentially spring) on a normal SRT animation?

Drop your animated object into a mograph>fracture object and apply the effector to the fracture object.

works! thanks a ton.

okay however i am facing a adverse effect on my sound in the timeline now…

sound gets weird as soon as i drop a mograph generator (like fracture) or an effector such as delay…

i got the sound via an effector “sound” and called in the file and allowed it to play on timeline.

thanks

That’s weird. Not sure what’s going on there.

i tried out getting rid of generators/effectors.

and the culprit seems to be the fracture. once i get rid of it the sound is good again!

one catch,

the object i am using this delay/spring is also used as a cloner object to assign those cylinders and spheres.

so when the fracture+delay effector work. it works on top of the animation. but i cant seem to get the position of my cloned objects adhere to the deformed parent object’s vertices and edges.

any workarounds?

thanks

I’m not sure I understand. Can you post a scene, or at least a screenshot of your object manager?

hi,

sure here is the file:

Okay, I think the solution is to take the object you’re using as a clone target out of the Fracture Object. It looks like the Fracture doesn’t serve any purpose except to mess up the cloners.
