Hi, I’m having a comp with timeRemap (light animation, bulb turns on). What I’m trying to achieve is to trigger timeRemap on if statement, if value, timeRemap plays. Now the problem is timeRemap is triggered, but only one (first) frame, not the whole animation it should play. On each trigger, the final effect is either 1 or 0 (timeRemap), but it should play animation how it is, smoothly, when it’s triggered. I hope I was clear. Any help would be much appricated.
If your triggers are keyframes, markers, in / out points of layers or any other object with a time property, you can use a simple code on time remap like:
trigger = ... // use pigwhip to link to property with keys, or link to markers, etc.
if (time >= trigger.time)
{
time - trigger.time;
}
When the playhead hits the trigger, the result will be 0. time does increase with each frame, but trigger.time is static. So the result will increase framewise and time remap will playback your animation.
Instead of hardcoding a trigger, you can use nearestKey(time) to jump to the next keyframe or marker or you cycle through the layers using for(){}, if your triggers are in/out points.
Give us more details and we can think of a more specific solution.
