I have a working loopOut and i'm trying to stop it at a certain time.

i tried:

timeToStop = 10; 
if (time > timeToStop) { 
value; 
} else { 
loopOut(); 
}

and also

if(time < 10){
loopOut()
}

else {
value
}

but both doesnt do the stopping trick, wel it stops right after one sequence...

What do I need to do to make this work? thanks!!

Both of those stop after 10 seconds for me, although it's not a very graceful stop unless the length of the loop goes evenly into 10.

Hi, dont know why, but it does stop now. But now i dont get it started at a certain time. But that will be for a new post.

Gracefully, no it is not. But this is a whole lot for me yet to get this working 😉

Can you put me in a direction to search for a smooth stop?

There are a number of different ways, but the simplest might be to either specify the number of loops, like this:

n = 3; // number of loops
if (numKeys > 1){
  t1 = key(1).time;
  t2 = key(numKeys).time;
  if (time < t1 + n*(t2-t1))
    loopOut()
  else
    key(numKeys).value;
}else
  value;

or, have it stop at the last full loop before your specified time:

timeToStop = 10;
if (numKeys > 1){
  t1 = key(1).time;
  t2 = key(numKeys).time;
  n = Math.floor((timeToStop - t1)/(t2 - t1));
  if (time < t1 + n*(t2-t1))
    loopOut()
  else
    key(numKeys).value;
}else
  value;
