One Action to Control Multiple Characters?

Post by highrise955 »

I searched everywhere and can't find a solid answer to my question. Does anyone know if it is possible to create a single "Action" that can control more than one boned character? I tried putting both characters in a "Group" and create the action for the group but if I try to click any of the characters in the Group the Action Timeline disappears.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Highrise955,

This is a swf file so let me know if you can't view it. I'm not sure if this is what you were asking but if it's not let me know and give some more detail of exactly what you're trying to do and I'll see if I can help you!
