Can you control the “Use Sound” checkbox with a User Data Boolean on another Null Object?

For some reason, I cannot control the “Use Sound” checkbox using the easy set driver/set driven method that usually works for other attributes. Is there another way to control this checkbox with another layer driving it. I’m trying to avoid having to keep going to the animation timeline to turn off sound. Thanks!

Hi Will N.,

Not to my knowledge, the “Set Driver/Set Driven” leaves no nodes, which is typically the most straightforward test if something can be used.

I would suggest asking in the Developer forum if there is a production-safe way to do this with Python.
