Hey man - I've just been through the tutorials, really great information, and I'm happy to report, that after years of battling with Parenting/Constraints, it's finally 'clicked' on how it all works, and I thank you good sir!

I'm having a wee bit of trouble with setting up a Set Driven Key on one of my controllers, and thought that maybe you'd know what was going on?

(Still working on my guard animation) I've correctly set up his pole, and his hand to the pole. I'm now trying to set up the second hand to the pole, so that I have a bit of control on it. I've set up the second hand as I've done the first, with your awesome tutorial, using a Locator to control the original controller, with that null group over the top of it, but I've tried to go one step further by adding a Set Driven Key to toggle simply between the guard's pole, and world space. I've managed to create the drop down menu and everything as you've demonstrated in the tutorial, and managed to constraint the hand to the pole ok.

However, when I go to set the Driven Keys for the weights, 1 for the pole and 0 for World, changing the dropdown menu on the locator doesn't effect the weight, but doing it manually on the offset works ok. Can you think what I might be missing in the Set Driven Keys attributes? As you've described in the tutorial, I change the drop down menu first before changing the weight values, and I've also tried changing the weight first, but no luck.

Any suggestions? Thanks man.

Sure thing rob! Glad I made it "click", that's especially awesome to hear

I've been playing around with it all afternoon, and realized that I was doing the wrong thing - by using a totally different Constraint that I should have been using, all is good - I've got it to work beautifully.

If you really want to watch the video, the password is "comingsoon", because I am redoing the tutorial and it should be done soon

You should be able to view them with the playlist at the top. They all have the same password.
