I know how to loop a rotation endlessly in 2D using the "time * ... " expression. But in 3D I get this error message. How do get around this?

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

X=value[0];

Y=time*50;

Z=value[2];

 

[XYZ]

Thank you very much for your help Mylenium. I'm not sure I understand how to insert that expression you kindly gave me.

What I'm trying to do is endlessly rotate the third Orientation number.  I was hoping "time*..." could do that for Orientation, but so far it can't. 

 

Thanks again.

Hi Mylenium, I can't get your expression to work in the Orientation section when I paste it there.

I also just got off the phone with Adobe Support and they don't think it's possible to apply expressions to the Orientation parameter. Could that be because it's not possible to separate the Orientation numbers into separate dimensions like you can do with the Position parameters?


Try it this way:

value + [0,0,time*50]
