delays with <avatar>.act and speech

[Gladsomebeast]

Have you tryied using the avatar.speak() command?

[betancourtb82]

Yes, I have tried both the regular speak command and the one shown below. They both keep the avatar's lips moving a lot after the wav clip stops.

Thanks

def Introduction(instructor):
 walk = instructor.walkto(0,0,10,1,260,2)
 #Clear all the avatar's actions, reposition it, and start the walk action
 instructor.clear(viz.ALL)
 instructor.visible(1)
 speech = instructor.speak(neutralpreanagram,.007)
 action1 = instructor.act(walk)
 action2 = instructor.turn(180)
 action3 = instructor.state(1)
 action4 = speech  
 action5 = instructor.walkto(8,0,10,1,260,2)
 action6 = instructor.walkto(8,0,-25,1,260,2)
 instructor.act(vizact.sequence(action1,action2,action3,action4,action5,action6))

Are you placing the speak_sync.py file in the vizard plug-ins folder? Also are you using vizact.speak_sync(..) to generate the action?

[betancourtb82]

I just moved the speak_sync.py document to the plugins folder (C:\Program Files\Vizard25\plug-ins). Here is the import statements and the current version of the code. I am still getting the same behavior. The avatar still keeps talking after the wav file is done. I can send you the wav file via email if that would help. Please give me an email address if that would help.

Thanks
