  Particular and Angle Control

  Posted by Tyler Paul on January 5, 2007 at 1:40 pm

  I’m looking to adjust the X and Y wind directions of particular using an angle control. What’s the best way to go about this?

  The code I’ll be using looks like this.

  If the angle is set to 90 degrees the X wind speed will be 30.

  t = thisComp.layer(“Adjustment Layer 2”).effect(“Angle”)(“Angle”);

  if(t <= 90){ t_min = 0; t_max = 90; Value1=0; Value2= 30; linear(t,t_min,t_max,Value1,Value2) } else { t_min = 180 t_max = 90 Value1 = 30 Value2= 0 linear(t,t_min,t_max,Value1,Value2)} That only covers half the rotation but I think I know what it'll take to cover the entire rotation.

  Okay, I got the full rotation of the X wind down. Converting the code to the Y wind resulted in multiple crashes. Even when I get that working I’m still limited to just one rotation, 0-360.

  This is over my head. Is there a better way to avoid these obstacles?
