Question

Can't figure out magnet unattach

Hello

 

I've been trying out magnets but I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. 
I made a magnet on his left hand when it''s "half open" and that works but there are two problems

- If I select any other hand it will eventually latch onto the item

- I can't release the item and it remains attached even if I move the hand out of the screen

I've noticed in the Heather puppet that there is a triggerable replay that allows you to unattach the object but I hae no idea how to make this. The Heather pupppet has the same "problem" keeping the orb in her hand - I just happened to notice the trigger while scrolling through the triggerlist.

I also don't really understand why only my head moves and doesn't pull the body along. For this puppet it's not really a problem but the other ones I have don't have this body movement

Any help would be appreciated.

 I'm not good at English.
I'm using translation software, but I may not understand the question correctly.

I think it's probably a question about magnet behavior.

Although it is in Japanese, I explained on YouTube.

However, it is difficult to explain this correctly in English.

 

I have fixed the movement of the body.

1) Regarding body movements, I uploaded a modified puppet to Dropbox.

2) Removed the crown mark from the head layer.
3) Create a new Body layer and add a Torso layer and a foot layer did.

4) I pinned the foot part of the Body layer.

Thank you
Unfortunately the magnets still don't release.

I would like it that once you activate the magnet and you pick up the phone you can press a button to release it again. Effectively dropping the phone.

 

I will check out the video and see if the solution is in there.
