Record new triggers while seeing old recording?

Question

I have characters that have triggers for:

1. Body/head orientation: front, left, right, back

2. Eyebrows & mouth emotions

3. Hand gestures

I have a dynamic scene where characters turn around and interact with one another, and it's very important for me to have separate control for body/head orientation and the rest of the triggers. I'd like to be able to record them on top of one another while seeing old recordings.

What I've tried to do is to add multiple Trigger behaviors to my character (which works for solving the same problem with draggers) but unfortunately this does not work well with swap sets - the triggered artwork does appear, but the old one does not disappear.

Is there any way around this?

Yes, it's a little tricky but this should work:

Add two more Trigger behaviors to the top level puppet, so you should see 3 Trigger behaviors in a row.
Click the ... icon next to each one to rename them. Call one Body/head triggers, one hand triggers, and one eyebrow and mouth triggers.
Now when you're recording, only arm the trigger behavior you want and disarm the others.

If you follow this, you should be able to see each part by dedicated one trigger behavior to each separate element.
