How to play guitar?

Hi there, I am new to TD, and this is my first project. I am trying to make a guitar, and the first part is more or less done: I’ve created the strings and used Kinect Azure to make them bounce individually following the index finger tracker (mediapipe). Question 1: I pointed the z position to the transform node, but my spring node is not seeing it (it’s working in the transform node). The point is to be able to jump strings instead of being forced to go linear. Any idea? Part two: I would like to trigger each note’s sound according to the index’s position. Any idea?
I’ve read this (Triggering Sounds with hand position), but still could not apply it to my project.
Thanks in advance

Hi @diegosaldiva,

can you share your project and point to the issues in the file directly? Can’t quite grasp your first question.

Jumping over strings could be tricky - maybe as a first step record the z position with a Trail CHOP and see if you can make out the movement from one string to the other in the data. Often seeing the pattern in the graph will help to find a solution.

Hi @snaut,
Thanks for taking the time for that.
Here is the project. In the meantime, I will give it a try with the Trail CHOP.
