  whats my wrong

  Posted by Tunc Erenkus on September 13, 2019 at 11:04 am

  Hi,

  when l try to drive this code (on source text), the result is always ‘else’. Can you please show me whats my mistake.

  Thanks

  a=inPoint;
t=time;
if (a=t) txt = "equal";
if (a>t) txt = "-time";
if (a<t) txt = "+time"
else {
txt = "else"
}
text.sourceText + txt + " " + time + " " + inPoint

  I’m not sure what you’re trying to do exactly, but I think it would be more like this:

  a=inPoint;
  t=time;
  if (t < a) txt = “-time”
  else if (t == a) txt = “equal”
  else txt = “+time”;
  value + txt + ” ” + time + ” ” + inPoint

  however, the “-time” will never show up because it happens before the layer’s inPoint.

  Thank you for your interest.

  Actually, I am trying to solve this issue: My first layer’s x position is looping and second layer’s x position linked it. The inPoint of second layer is random. I am trying to grab the first layer’s x value in the frame of second layer’s inPoint.

  I thought I might solve it with if command. Better idea?
