What's a good way to detect the puppet being idle vs moving? (ex: for an idle animation)
Let's say I wanted to play an animation only while a puppet I've possessed is idle. What I've tried so far, it seems like the idle animation will tend to blend with the procedural walking animation and I haven't found an obvious way to make the distinction between no input and any input on the control stick.

you could try wiring the left stick output from the controller sensor to a NOT gate and then tie that to whatever you want to occur when you're idle. I am at work currently, so I am unsure with testing if this will work

That's a reasonable suggestion, or you could use a movement sensor.

I had tried those solutions, it sounds like it should work but the problem is that Stick input outputs a value from 0.00 to 3.00. If you hook up a NOT, you'll still get a value between 0.00 and 1.00 to the animation when merely tilting the stick slightly, which will still activate the animation. Luckily, I figured out the Calculator gadget can be useful here by outputting true or false (i.e. 0.00 and 1.00 exclusively) if the stick is tilted any amount more than none.
