Question

A Character Walks Into Boxes

Sounds like one of those "guy walks into a bar" jokes, and as I just thought of that while typing (as ridiculous as that sounds), but could become the theme of a series.
Anyway, I'm thinking this cannot be done if my character has a "Walk - Bodyspeed" that's greater than 0, as all my boxes move in the direction of the walk.  So, please correct me if wrong, but will I not have to animater via the "Transform" properties?

Hope this is all clearly stated.

Thanks!

Sorry, its a bit confusing. I am guessing you have a puppet with a character that also includes boxes? So when the character walks, the boxes are moving with the character, so you cannot walk into them? *If* that is the case, have you tried making the boxes separate puppets?

Possibly useful other posts v1.5 question about bouncing objects , Problems with Physics (bouncing balls) ,

There was a great post in the last week or so, but I cannot find it now for some reason. Had a walking character walk through a set of balls with all the physics going. It looked pretty cool and sounded similar to what you are trying to do. So you might like to browse through some previous posts over the last week or so if you want to see that example. It had a reasonably realistic man character walking, kicking lots of balls around his feet. It was on a post with multiple other posts.

You definitely described the problem I'm having. I just got back to it, and will try to set up all objects in the scene as separate puppets.  Will get back to you .... and many thanks for the ideas!
