Multiple animated groups with one click

[phyte]

I mean that the same functions can be used for components and groups.

[Dave R]

Yes. When making Dynamic Components those functions can be used.

You should get on with doing it. You'd have had it done before now if you'd gotten down to it.

You could upload a model with some commentary on how it should work

I mean that those functions can be used also for pure groups (without components).
Anyway, I want for example:

1. one click on the object (left) causes rotation of each subgroup (right)
   

2. first click on the object causes rotation of the object on one axis, second click causes rotation on the second axis, third click causes scaling

Is this possible to do in SU without plugins?

[pilou]

Surely in Dynamic components (with Pro Version of SU)
But you must make a light coding!

[ntxdave]

Perhaps you should take a look at SimLab Composer.

They have a free version and you can click on objects to animate them.

[pcmoor]

using onclick formula with groups

1. rotation with cumulative angle

2. multi movement with a timeline called num

Impossible to load this above exemple1 (too recent version)

[pcmoor]

should have known better......
version 8

[pilou]

Better loading for a more large audiance!!

So Dynamic Components I presume?

Thanks for these models, I've tried to figure it out and implement it to my idea, but still I don't get it. Can you just make that for me?:

1. 3 subgroups with different sizes, same axis

• first click: red, blue rotates by 45, 90, green no change
• second click: going back to start positions (0, 0)

2. 2 subgroups with different sizes, same axis

• first click: red changes its size (2)
• second click: whole group rotates by 90 (3)
• third click: red gets original size (4)
• fourth click: back to start/rotation -90 (1)

3. 2 subgroups with different sizes, same axis

• first click: red changes its size (2)
• second click: red changes its size (3)
• third click: back to start/red changes its size (1)

Thank you, I still can't recreate the same objects having same values.
ad 1: error in

=-Group!switch*90

ad 2: error in

=choose(Group!switch,180,180-15*Group!counter,30,30+15*Group!counter)

Also, one more animation:
4. 2 subgroups

• first click [right]: bigger subgroup rotates holding to smaller one, whole group moves to stick with wall object (independent object)
• second click [left]: goes back to 90 rotation and sticks to the wall

Without the file, I can't be sure, but is the child label "group" as well as the parent? if so then there is a reference to the same. Double click one of the labels and change the name

the next

Ok, I fixed it and did what I wanted to do (more or less), thanks again.
