VNyan Animated Prop - Vaudeville Cane

A VNyan animated prop where a cane slowly reaches out and yoinks your avatar off screen. Package includes the prop and node graph.

Cane reaching out is pre-animated, and what happens afterwards can be tweaked to your liking: speed and timing of the yoink, sound effects, and so on.

Installation

In the Props menu, click Add Prop and load the prop_Vaudeville Cane.vnprop file. The cane will slowly appear on your avatar. Leave it visible so you can adjust its position, scale, and rotation later.

Give the cane a name, and set Linked Bone to Avatar GameObject. A new submenu will appear called Linked GameObject; you can select your avatar's file type, or the root or hips bone. You can now adjust the position, scale, and rotation of the cane to your liking. Once you're done, hide the cane.

Now, open up the Node Graphs menu. Click "Add new graph", and then click load. Locate the graph_vaudeville cane.json file, and it should appear in your new graph.

In order for the graph to work, you must ensure the following:

-The two Toggle Prop nodes are set to the name you gave the cane,

-The two Object Position nodes are set to your avatar's file type.

Before you test the cane, make sure it's hidden. You can do this either by hiding it in the Props menu or right-clicking the "cane reset" Timer node and selecting Send Signal. When the cane is hidden, right-click the Channel Points node and select Send Signal. The cane should slowly appear and then yoink your avatar off screen!

In the graph, there's a Play Sound node where you can drop a sound effect for when your avatar gets pulled.

Linked Version of Prop

This is an experimental version of the prop for specific use cases. It's recommended to use the standard version of the prop unless:
-You use multiple avatars that may have different bone names.

This prop uses a Linking component, which means the avatar itself becomes connected to the cane. You won't have control over the speed of the yoink, and there will be a noticeable jump when your avatar snaps to the cane. But this should allow multiple avatars with different bone names to use the prop and redeem.

To install, just follow the same directions as above.
