Kat's Note: OR DOWNLOAD MY SAMPLE POSEBOX ABOVE SO YOU DON"T HAVE TO CREATE GUID.

Save it anywhere so we can put it in download folder later. Type the object name as you want. 

Part 2.1: Animation File 

Just press the white paper, create a new file, and right-click at the empty space on the right. Click Add..

Select pose file that you have saved. Do not forget to select file type as "All files" if you don't see any file to select -0- 

To selected many of them , just press Ctrl or Shift and select each file 

In the image below there are 2 poses. 

Then click on the Resource tab and select Type as Animation Resource

Insert group value of 0x1C0532FA  

Then press commit. 

Then click on the Plugin View tab and click "fix TGI". 

After u click "Fix TGI" it will change the "Instance(high)" and "Instance", from 0x00000000 to some random numeric.

Click on "Fix TGI" in every line. Then save (Save As ...). Name the file to know that it is a pose file.    example like: MinnaPose.package, KatPose.package

Do you see Filename. "a-patzchiez-pb01-02" That I crop red?

You need to copy this text. (This is the name of each pose)

Save them in notepad somewhere

like this

a-patzchiez-pb01-01

a-patzchiez-pb01-02

.

Then close it down. 

Part 2.3: Edit your CLONE BOX

Open the file we cloned. ( the box file).

First Look in AllRes. (Left)

Select Text Lists. delete the red highlighted files

Select Anims - Adult

Look at the String box below, insert the file name of the pose that we saved in notepad.

Insert one line per one pose. 

Example "a-patzchiez-pb01-01" 

Commit File> Save it.

Zoom here. Here we have 2 texts already. Look at the code in column # it's different you see?

Now go to "Pie Menu Strings"

This is about the command text that show when we click the box. such as Pose 1> Start

Just enter the String you want for each pose here .

Look at the English column ..

There is line 21 22 23  that contain the commands. Select 3 of these and then Delete.

Assuming that you wants to click on the box and it will pop-up Pose 1 and you click again, it will be Start, Stop

Understand that, right? Let's do that

If line 0 is the start of pose 1, line 1 must be the stop of pose 1.

If you look at the picture.

Line 4 is reset command, if you have used the box to you'll familiar with it.

Overwrite the values and add more line if not enough.

This are more patterns if you like it.

Pose ../ 1 ../ Start       or      Female ../ Pose ../ 1 ../ Start   

Then Commit File> Save. Really need to Commit every time the file is edited.

Now this is the point.

Select "Behaviour Function" on the left and delete the red highlighted files.

Now right-click on the Function-Init and select Clone.

The file is in a red frame that I cropped for you.

Then look in the red frame below. On the left side there are two boxes under the Filename box.

The right hand is the code of each box. It has meaning.

Every time you edit value, press Commit.

I have 2 pictures for you to see it.

First, look at the "filename" of both images, we will need to name our file as Start - xxx

xxx can be anything

Then click on the first box that is green color.

Look at "Instruction Settings" set values as shown.

Then click on box #2 that is white color and look at the value in red frame (after operands)

You'll see 00 That i cropped red

What is 00? It is the position of the "Text List". 

If you do not remember to go up to see above.

Set the value of the first field of the operands based on the line in the Text Lists of that pose.

Other values set as shown in the image.

Now come to the Stop command.

Clone from the last one and then select the first box then click Delete.

Set the first value of "Operands" the same number as the Text Lists number of the pose.

Do not forget to change the file name to Stop - Pose xxx.

This picture zoom the value of the stop to look clearer.

Start Pose 2  value

Zoom to see the first value is 01 .

This is not difficult at all. Snap reset   just clone Stop and

Set up value as the picture.

Zoom 

Well, Now we finish with the Plugin View tab then we have to edit the Resource tab

Look at Instance box

Because of this number of instances must not be duplicated in each pose.

The last two digits is 41 for the Start - Pose 1.

Stop - Pose 1 > 42

Start - Pose 2 > 43

Stop - Pose 2 > 44

Snap Reset> 77

You can use 2A 2B. 

Do not forget Commit + Save

Zoom

We come near the final

Now click Pie Menu Functions

Look at  Pie String ID  box. you must choose each pose for each  Pie String ID.

Example like this:

Pie String ID  0x00000000 choose  Pose 1/Start

Pie String ID  0x00000001 choose  Pose 1/Stop 

Pie String ID  0x00000002 choose  Pose 2/Start

Pie String ID  0x00000003 choose  Force End  (or the very last Pie string ID)

.

.

indefinitely

If Pie String ID is not enough, then add it 

Zoom

Now choose Action BHAV, press the arrow (red frame)

Choose the value the same as Pie String ID.

Set other values ​​as shown.

W're not gonna use this line . We can delete it

Adjust the item category. It's easy.

Go to Object Data (left hand side) and select Reaction Test.

set as your desire categories.

Now click "Texture Image". 

Let us prepare the picture. The size of the image. .

Normally only 256x256.

Then import the image by size.

Then Commit> Save, respectively.

Finally, change the object name and enter the details.

Need to explain? I'm very sleepy right now.

completed !!

What is the best way to do this?
