Question

Is there a way to have two layers controlled by a swap set?

Hello, I am trying to turn off two layers with a hot key using a swap set. Basically I'm trying to make my character punch (One hand punching the other on the hip). The problem I am having is One arm is the default lets say the right arm. I have the R key on the punch layer and when that key is pressed the right arm disappears and the punch shows. My problem is the left arm is still showing (dangling there). 

I've tried various combinations making multiple swap sets but I can't seem to find the right formula since only one layer can be the default. If I could make the left and right arm default then that would hide them both when the punch layer shows.
As you can see in the attached image the only one arm is hidden (the default) but not the other which is dangling. I leaned to the side so the arm would be clearer.

Any help would be apprecitated.

Thanks

Have you tried to make the punching arms (both R and L) in one single layer and put it in both "Left Arm" and "Right Arm" swap set under the same shortcut key? I did a similar thing with crossed arms.

    Translated from Japanese to English using translation software.

    I am not good at English, so I may not understand your question correctly.
    So, I will answer by guessing.
    Multiple layer groups can be added to a swap set.
    [L] key
    When left arm is punched
    (left arm punch and right arm is waist)
    [R] key
    When punching the right arm
    (punch right arm and left arm at waist)
    [1] key
    Default

    Arigato, but the L & R punch layers I have has both arms drawn in the same layer one extended the other on the wasit. So I only need to turn off both left and right arms from their neutral positions while the key is pressed.
    Neutral position Arms seperate layers Left arm, Right arm
    Left Punch Layer (Both hands Left punching right on waist)
    Right Punch Layer (Both hands Right punching Left on wasit)
    In my Right arm swap set I have the following;
    Swap Set R
    ************
    Right arm (hanging down) default (all others hidden)
    W key Right arm wave (turns the default off)
    A Key Right arm punch (turns default off I need to turn both left and right defaults off)

    I hope I explained it better.
