lip sync toggle on keypress

[ridenour.robert]

I activate the slider and it turns audio based lipsync off and i can not use this function. I press H and nothing happens. What i want is to be able to stream the lipsync but when a solo in a song comes up i can turn it off so the avatar is not mouthing guitar solos and such. but when i press h nothing happens.

Hello, in the "General Options" > "Preferences" > "General" tab you have a "Use Audio Lipsync On KeyPress" toggle. Toggle it as On, after which you can go to "Key Bindings" and change the key to a different one. However, it will stay on only as long as you keep the key pressed.

Ok I see how it works, the docs i was reading said it was H it was bound to T. are there any files that are manually editable to change the behavior to lip sync "off"instead of "on" keypress. Or a way to make it stick without having to hold it. I would prefer a simple on and off toggle. Thanks

From the top-menu bar in Facerig, you could also simply click on the mouth-looking icon to "Toggle Audio Based Lipsync" to either on on off. No need to hold it that way.

that is true but if i have another window on top that i am broadcasting to it would be nice to not have to switch windows, a global hotkey would be alot quicker to turn it off and on

There is a free utility called AutoHotkey, which you can download at:
https://autohotkey.com/

I had previously made a little autohotkey script for a game, The Long Dark, that basically with a quick key-press would either toggle-on or toggle-off the W key for me (normally in the game with the W key pressed and held, it would move the character in a forward walking motion) as there was a lot of time just walking around in that game and the script helped to save some strain on my fingers and hand.

If you'd like I could upload a stand-alone execuatable version of the script for you, but, to use the raw code (which I'll put below), with Autohotkey installed, you could then simply right-click in an Windows Explorer folder of your choice, or even jsut right-clicking on the Windows Desktop in a blank spot, and one of the menu-options that would be added is under the New option is added an Autohotkey Script option (which the script could also be edited by a text editor), then you could paste the following code into it:

Note: With a quick key-press of the according key, the following code uses the t key to simulate to toggle it on or off. I already tested it with Facerig (having the T key setup as a hotkey within Facerig to toggle on or off the Lipsync) and it seems to work fine. If you decide to change the t key to another key choice instead to toggle on or off the lipsync audio, you would make the changes accordingly in the script below:

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
#Warn  ; Recommended for catching common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

#MaxThreadsPerHotkey, 2
looping = 0

$t:: ;<-- the hotkey with a $ so it won't re-trigger itself

keywait, t ;<-- make sure to let go of the t key

looping := !looping ;<-- is the switch to tell the loop to start or stop


if (!looping)  ;<-- if the toggle is now off don't do the loop
   Return
loop ;<-- an infinite loop with a break condition inside
{

if(GetKeyState("s"))
    {
Break
    sleep, 50
}
  
If (!looping) ;<-- the loop will break once the looping flag is flipped off
        Break
    send, {t down}

    sleep, 50 

}

Send, {t up}

Ok, it's a work-around, but one that seems to work on my end. Maybe it will do what you want.

With that autohotkey script running, you will notice a "H" icon in the Windows tray / taskbar area (it could also be within the Show Hidden Icons area). To end the script, right-click on that H icon and choose Exit.

Hope it helps. Good luck.
