Current Position of Puppet After Keyboard Walk

Question

How do you determine the current position of the puppet after a Keyboard Input Walk?  I only have an X Position keyframe at the beginning of the walk.  The puppet after the walk is standing in the middle of the screen but when I want to create a new X Position Keyframe, Ch doesn’t show me the current position, it just shows me the beginning X Position  Any help is appreciated.  As a side note, Position based Walk doesn't work well for my puppets.

There are two approaches that work fairly well, and one that does not. (Yep, you guessed it, you are doing the one that does not!)

Approach 1: Set the walk body speed to zero, so when walking the puppet does not actually move. Then use puppet Position X keyframing to make the puppet move, synchronized with the arrow key recording.

Approach 2: Set the walk to Position based walking instead of arrow keys. Then use keyframes to adjust the Position property of the *walk behavior* (NOT Position X of the Transform behavior on the puppet). This property is only visible after Position based walking has been set I think. This works out the puppet walk speed and direction for you automatically based on the Position value.
