[Character Animator] I can't let go of coffee cup

I'm trying to make an animation of drinking coffee with the magnet function, but the cup follows me even if I turn off the magnet function with the trigger function.
I'm trying to do the same thing as the fish in Okey Samurai's video, but I don't know why it doesn't work.

Correct answer k_oshiro

I translated Japanese into English using a translation software.

Perhaps when you let go of the coffee cup, the wrist layer is not switching to the OFF layer of the magnet.


I made a tutorial on magnet behaviors a while back.
It shows how to hold and drop a gun by switching between ON and OFF.

It's in Japanese, but I'm sure you can speak Japanese, so please refer to it.

If you can't get it to work, export your puppet file and share it with me on Dropbox or Googledrive.
I can give you more advice.
Thank you.

It sounds like the magnet function may still be active in some form. Double-check your triggers and behaviors. I faced a similar issue while animating for a 7 Brew Coffee concept—minor settings made a big difference. Keep tweaking!
