Face Tracking Puff Sequence Toggle

Face Tracking Sequence Toggle

What it does

This is a free face tracking addon that lets you prime a toggle via puffing your face then activates when opening your mouth.

1. Puff both cheeks while the mouth is closed.

2. Open the mouth. The object toggle turns on.

3. Close the mouth. The object toggle turns off and the sequence resets.

As you can tell from the example, if you have a fire breath asset, instead of activating fire breath from your expression menu or hand gestures, you can use your mouth! Puffing your cheeks "primes" an action, while opening your mouth activates it. It's a two step process to try to avoid accidentally activating it as often. Closing your mouth then deactivates it.

In theory, this can be modified to have any combination of facial expressions to toggle an action. Prime, toggle on, toggle off.

Dependencies

- This was built with VRCFT v2 templates in mind. If your Face Tracking asset utilizes Jerry's Templates, it should work. For example, Royalty's FT.
