Rive 101 - 6.4 Joysticks

Joysticks are controllers that we can use to manipulate objects on the stage. Create timelines, then assign those timelines to the different axis on the joysticks.

Shortcuts: Joystick tool - "J"

For the ones that are "confused". Just watch the next videos.
I watch the videos, and try it on Rive.
As I reach 6.12 IK Constraint something clicked,
I went back to this exercise and everything made sense.
The group with style target, the handle source, the translation constraint with offset..

Thank you Rive for this amazing playlist, for free!
I am so excited to learn more and more and start to do something crazy with all this new skills :)

Honestly, this video really shows you don't put much efforts into onboarding users. It's whether you make a false assumption that people who use Rive all have background animation knowledge or you just don’t give a shit about users.

I don't think the explanation is clear enough, for example, three minutes and fifty-four seconds, start creating a group and the attribute of this group is changed from group to target, this step is not stated at all, if you follow the study, you will not know what was done earlier. Further on as well, when was that group created earlier? Does not say, directly on the next step. Learning in this way will need to be looked at many times, I hope to correct it, the details must be said clearly.

As a long time animator, I don't understand why I can't have conflicting keys. The whole benefit of a joystick is that it interpolates between different states. So it seems broken that it doesn't interpolate between multiple keys values in different timelines.

How do you control an eyball movement in a circular eye socket? The joystick constrains the movement in a rectangle shape. When I tried animation eyes the eyebll didn't move as expected.

cant make it work! Really confussing this course

[johnmarday]

hi, why do we need to add a timeline above the state machine, to make the joystick control timeline animations in state machine. at (5:20)

i think translation constrain wasn't presented before in the rive101, so that part was confusing.

This episode's content is very confusing, making it hard to understand what specific actions should be taken.

In 4:00, what video are you referring? Can you at least give a quicklink?

I’m here prepare for itsAlive challenge

This course is terrible, the part around 3.50 was edited, and it's completely incomprehensible how it was done
