Triggering Multiple Actions via Single Button

It is possible to trigger multiple actions with a single button. To do that:

• Launch the RealityExample, the project shipped with Reality Engine

Node Tree

• Create the Node Tree as shown in the image above

Advanced Preview Monitor (APM)

• Activate the Advanced Preview Monitor (APM) on the Program output pin of the Mixer node

• Change your camera angle by adjusting the UserTransform property values of the UserTrack node through the GamePad

• You can optionally align the Particle Control, Animation Control, and Spotlight for better control, as shown above.

• Activate the Actions module and click on the Create button, rename it if you like

• Select the Particle Control node, go to its Functions, right-click on the Play property menu circle, select the Timeline

• Select the Animation Control node, go to its Functions, right-click on the Play property menu circle, select the Timeline

• Select the Spotlight node, go to its Properties, right-click on Turnedon property menu circle, and select the Timeline

• Go to the Actions module:

• Right-click on the Play function menu circle of the Start Particles property group, select the Add Keyframe option

• Right-click on the Play function menu circle of the Play/Stop Ball Animation property group, select the Add Keyframe option

The action above will trigger all Properties/Functions.

• Add the Stop function of Animation Control node to the Timeline instead of the Play function.

• Save the Action

• Activate the Form Builder module, click on the New Form button, rename it if you like

• Drag and drop the Action Play buttons of the first and second animations to Form Area, and customize it if you like by clicking on the Field Setting button
