AE expression – trigger script on marker
Hi guys,
I have come across a bit stragne thing. I have a layer and I want to randomize its position at each marker. Soundd trivial, but it’s giving me headache so far.The script:
n = marker.nearestKey(time).index;
if (marker.key(n).time == time){
minVal = [0.1*thisComp.width, 0.1*thisComp.height];
maxVal = [0.9*thisComp.width, 0.9*thisComp.height];
random(minVal,maxVal)} else {
value
}So this script does randomize the position at each marker, but when the marker is passed it returns the layer to original position… which is so not what i want 🙂
any thoughts?

Try this:
n = marker.nearestKey(time).index;if (marker.key(n).time < time){
minVal = [0.1*thisComp.width, 0.1*thisComp.height];
maxVal = [0.9*thisComp.width, 0.9*thisComp.height];
random(minVal,maxVal)} else {
value

Hi,
thanks for the reply. I actually had something like that already, it causes the layer to start randomizing its position at each frame passing the first marker. So its kinda like opposit of what I have.However I need the layer to randomize its position just at one frame – where the marker is.
