Add additional random seed to textIndex
Hi, does anybody know if there’s away to re-seed the randomness when you use an expression like this:
seedRandom (textIndex, true)
This bases the random seed on the text index, and I’m using it to assign random y positions to each character in a line of text. In some cases I’m not happy with the results, though. For example, I may have too many characters clustered together, and I’d like to have After Effects generate a new random order.
Any suggestions?

You could set a seed offset (and maybe tie it to a slider):
seedOffset = 99971;
seedRandom (seedOffset+textIndex, true);Dan

That’s exactly what I needed. Thanks Dan!
