Why does double-click not key the rotation of a bone anymore?

[Mejin]

Hello,

I came to a bug (?)/problem – normally you could key a selected bone with double-click.
Now it does work for the translation, but not for the rotatin. It just does not key the bone.
Does anyone know why and how I can solve this problem?

All the best

To keyframe the rotation of a bone in Moho 14.2, press and hold Ctrl while clicking. You can actually click anywhere (even outside of the bone) so long as the bone is highlighted and you're holding down Ctrl. This was changed to prevent conflict with other new Transform Bone Tool behaviors. (There's probably more about this in a new features video at the Moho Animation Software channel.)

To a bone's keyframe Position, click the dot at the base, and to keyframe length, click on the dot at the tip. (Holding Ctrl for these two is unnecessary.)

Oh! Thanks, I should probably spend more time on the "This is new" video. I only scrubbed through it at the time of release.

If im not mistaken the Position works with holding down [Alt]

Strictly speaking, I don't think there was ever a double-click option for setting the Bone keyframe. It was a single-click, but double-clicking did the same thing (twice - I guess).

If you are desperate for the 'old' functionality - there are 2 possible routes (neither of which are 'official' or 'supported' fixes):

1. Continue using the old 14.1 Transform Bone tool (! You will lose the new bone transform features introduced in 14.2):
   Copy 14.1 <moho application path>\Resources\Support\Scripts\Tool\lm_transform_bone.lua / .png to <custom script folder>\scripts\tool\
   _
2. Update/hack the new 14.2 Transform Bone tool:
   Copy 14.2 <moho application path>\Resources\Support\Scripts\Tool\lm_transform_bone.lua / .png to <custom script folder>\scripts\tool\
   Text Edit <custom script folder>\scripts\tool\lm_transform_bone.lua and replace:

   Code: Select all

   if (mouseEvent.ctrlKey) then

   with:

   Code: Select all

   if (mouseEvent.ctrlKey) or (mouseEvent.doubleClick) then 

   - Save

- Restart Moho.

Personally, I went for the 2nd option - as I too wanted the 'double click' keyframe feature, but also the new no-keyframe functionality.
