Posts: 50 		I'm having trouble with character movement. The "move" block is showing on the timeline but when I hit play, my character doesn't move. The play bar goes straight through the move block and the character just stands still. He only moves if I manually scroll to the move block then hit play. So, the play head has to be in the move block in order for my character to move.

I've just recently upgraded to Muvizu Play +. This is a new issue for me.

Can someone tell me what I could possibly be doing wrong? Thanks.

Posts: 1786 		I had this bug I dont know if this is a fix or not or whether it will work for you however i noticed that i was using the movement on copies of the same character who all had the same name. I decided to rename all the characters by sticking a number at the end of each character and this bug went away. I was having horrible trouble when i started up this latest thing I am working on. I have not had this issue return since i resorted to renaming each character with a unique name. I think naming system is broken as its not renaming them as copies and its trying to decide which character named marco or whatever the move belongs to.

I've just done little snippets. And I've only ever used one character, which I've never named. I'll try naming him to see if that will make a difference.

If it wasn't for this forum, I'd probably spend hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I hope this bug is fixed soon.

Thanks for your help!

Is this issue only in the upgraded version?

Posts: 763 		ok are you moving the move block in the timeline after you have animated the movement, say to adjust when the character starts moving? i found if i leave the move block alone,( dont move it even slightly) when ive come across this bug then the character still moves. as the others have said its a bug and a very frustrating one. if this does work for you you'll just have to get your timing spot on till the bug is fixed. also try and not to move the actual character from the point you animated him from if you are adjusting the positioning of the character after animating him/her. whatever this bug is all these things seem to effect it.

Just to let you all know, I deleted the old move block. Got my timing "spot on" as fazz68 suggested. Didn't touch the new block, and now my character's moving! Thanks, everyone for your help!
