Need help on the Multiple No Flask from Liquid Volume script

[eganki]

Hi,

I've encountered a problem when the Fill Level in Multiple No Flask did not work as expected.

Expected:

Result:

As you can see, the fill level suddenly drop from 0.175 to 0.125 and I can't find a way to edit the fill level variable itself.

Thanks for your time and look forward to your reply.

When using the multiple variant, the fill level is no longer editable. You need to specify a different amount for each layer and the resulting fill level is automatically calculated based on the amount and density of each layer.

This code setups a 4 layer liquid:

Code

        void FourLayersExample() {
			LiquidVolume.LiquidLayer[] layers = new LiquidVolume.LiquidLayer[4];
			layers[0].amount = 0.25f;
			layers[0].density = 1f;
			layers[1].amount = 0;
			layers[1].density = 1f;
			layers[2].amount = 0;
			layers[2].density = 1f;
			layers[3].amount = 0;
			layers[3].density = 1f;
			layers[0].color = new Color(1, 0, 0);
			layers[1].color = new Color(0, 1, 0);
			layers[2].color = new Color(0, 0, 1);
			layers[3].color = new Color(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f);
			lv.liquidLayers = layers;
			lv.UpdateLayers();
		}

This other code sets random properties for the existing layers:

Code

		void SetRandomProperties() {

            int layerCount = lv.liquidLayers.Length;
            if (layerCount == 0)
                return;

            float fillLevel = 0;
            for (int k = 0; k < layerCount; k++) {
                float layerAmount = (1.0f - fillLevel) * Random.value;
                fillLevel += layerAmount;
                lv.liquidLayers[k].amount = layerAmount;
                lv.liquidLayers[k].bubblesOpacity = Random.value;
                lv.liquidLayers[k].color = new Color(Random.value, Random.value, Random.value, Random.value);
                lv.liquidLayers[k].murkColor = new Color(Random.value, Random.value, Random.value, Random.value);
                lv.liquidLayers[k].murkiness = Random.value;
            }
            // Immediately update layers
            lv.UpdateLayers(true);

        }

This code is taken from the BakerController.cs script located in Demos/Multiple Layers/DemoResources/Scripts folder.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply.

As you can see from the video, I am currently only using one layer in the test tube, and halfway through the animation, I've modified both values from Bubbles opacity and the Amount. This issue will not occur if I am using Default No Flask setting.

I am not sure if either one of the function; OnValidate() or OnDidApplyAnimationProperties() from our previous discussion are the ones causing this bug. Still, I was hoping through here that we can find a way to stop the auto calculation and set the value ourselves.

Hi,

I noticed if I set Bubbles opacity lower than one, it will work as intended in animation.
I'll continue to test around and see what I can find.
