Rig UI & Custom Properties

Autorun Script System

The Endertainer Rig presets comes with a Rig UI autorun script system. This system will generate a panel that gives you access to all custom property settings in a PROP bone. It works by running a Python script every time you open the blend file containing the rig with the autorun script. And this script is linked to the rig's armature. So whenever you import the rig to another blend file, the autorun script will be imported as well. Also, the Rig UI only shows up when you select the rig's armature.

The Rig UI can be accessed on the Sidebar once the rig is selected

To use the Rig UI, select the Allow Execution button whenever a pop-up shows up when opening a blend file with the rig in it. This will also enable all autorun scripts. So if you have other rigs with different Rig UI, it will be enabled as well.

Select the Allow Execution button to enable the autorun script

Note that when you first import the rig or if for some reason the Rig UI doesn't show up. You can try manually starting the script by pressing the Run Script button on the Text Editor.

Pressing the Run Script button will start the Rig UI script

Custom Properties

While the Endertainer Rig preset uses Rig UI to change any of the rig's settings. On the lower level, it actually modifies the custom properties stored in the rig's bones. These custom properties act as a switch that enables or disables a feature. These custom properties can be accessed by going to the Bone Properties -> Custom Properties or by going to the Sidebar -> Properties.

You can change the custom properties on the Bone Properties -> Custom Properties

While the main custom properties are stored in the PRP-Main bone, the locations of other custom properties are different on each module. You can check out theProperties reference from Rig Modules technical documents on where the custom properties are stored for each modules.
