Hey guys!!! Wierd question.... I was practicing dragging my characters hands and they work great! But When I click on record they all of a sudden can't be clicked on. It wont let me do anything with them. They red light is on so it's not that.

Thanks, that worked to reproduce the problem. Turned out to be a bit subtle: your puppet has three views, but only the Standing view has Draggable wrists. When stopped, you were seeing the Standing view, so dragging the wrists worked. When recording the Walk behavior was triggering the Left Profile view*, which has nothing draggable.

I figured this out by turning off the eyeball for all the behaviors except Dragger and then turned them on one-by-one to see when the problem started.

Easy fix: just tag the left & right wrist handles in the Left & Right Profile views with the Draggable tag.

 

*I think this is a bug because you have no Walk Position keyframes so it should stay on the Standing view; in any case it doesn't happen if you turn off the keyframe stopwatch, or have actual changing keyframe values

Can you share what the behaviors are on the Eliza and Body layers? There is the little lego block there. See how your screenshot of the dragger handle path did not include Eliza? I am wondering if you have added two dragger behaviors, and one is overriding/intercepting the other. In particular, the behavior on the Eliza level I suspect is a Dragger behavior causing problems. You generally only need one on a puppet.

Thank you! 

I deleted the extra one, and now I have this:

Which looks right to me (is this the screenshot you were asking for?) but it still freezes when I click record....

The red light has to be on for three things:
1) the track item (left side of the timline)

2) the Dragger behavior in the Properties panel

3) Dragger’s Mouse & Touch Input parameter

I believe they are all checked right?

Yes, they are all enabled correctly there. Next thing to check: in the puppet panel look to see what Target Handles the Dragger behavior can "see":
