    getting to load multiball UI

    posted to: Rolling Ball (Ex 03)

    Hey, I'm trying to get that ball rolling, except the UI doesn't load making it quite impossible for me to work with. Tried on blender 3.4,3.5,3.6... I'll copy the ball in a clean file to start from scratch, but would be nice to have the course file working as well :)

      HI Seb,

      What do you mean by the UI won't load? This is what it looks like when I open the start file:

      Maybe you mean when running a script? The menu that pops in the N Panel?

      Hey Omar, Martin, 


      I'm accepting the script when loading the file, but from the course there should be in the item menu a new category to manage all the balls and gizmos and stuff.  Here it just doesn't appear.  And when I'm trying to apply animation to the underlying elements (the balls) directly, no keyframes appear in the graph editor or in the timeline.  here is a screengrab from the course of what I 'm looking for;

      Oh, if I'm not mistaken, that MultiBall UI only shows up, when you are in Pose Mode

      Solution

      Go to the Text editor and in the drop down you will see a text file called multiball_ui. Run the script with the play button, the one that looks like a triangle to the right, and the menu will pop up. And you have to be in pose mode.

      Thank you team for resolving the issue.
      Yeah, sometimes a script won't load automatically.  Most likely you have this security option disabled in the settings (it's disabled by default)

      But sometimes a script doesn't automatically run in some situations.
