Hi! im giving my first steps in OnClick animations with dynamic components, and the animation im trying to make its something like this: Object A, moves forward and changes position (x, y and z) and in consequence, Object B takes the place of Object A. Is this possible? To add a new layer of difficulty to all this context, i want to use this on a Virtual reality device haha, i know i can move DCs in VR sketch using the meta quest 2, but i have neved made an animation this complex ---

OnClick can set the state of a variable and the location of components can be set based on that variable. This should work pretty well! ---

Parent and child, Natively you can obtain value from : parent, brother or child B move at the same time of A withe same direction and length? If yes put B on A If B move only when A arrive to the same place Put A and B in a super component, create an attribute « animate\_value on it A On click attribute on A that animate the animate\_value Set the formula on x for A X= if(parent!animate\_value\<50, parent!animate\_value,50) And for B X =if(paren!animate\_value\<50,50,parent!animate\_value) ---

A and B are brothers, i guess, i struggle a bit to understand this. To be more graphic, the situation is this : A and B are lets say cans of coca cola. on a slide shelf with pendence, when i took away A, B per “gravity” takes A place. As in this very humble design xD ![Senza titolo](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/1/7/17c8dc59ff71aecb513917e25a6bf174f9b534a2.png) I animated A as a sequence of movements. But i dont know how to connnect all this to B. ---

Make the location of both Component A and Component B dependent on a user defined attribute. Use IF statements to set the location based on that attribute (for example, set locX to 'IF UserAttribute=1, 10,20, then have UserAttribute change from 0 to 1 with OnClick). ---

I tried to replicate your example and it worked! Unfortunately when applying it to mine they asked me to move on to another task so I will return to it in the future, thank you!
