Amend existing marker trigger to include marker.name
I’d like to be able to have different behaviors triggered by different markers. The current code only looks at the marker time. How can I amend this code so that it reads a marker’s name, like “scale”.
try {
n = 0;
t = 0;
if (marker.numKeys > 0){
n = marker.nearestKey(time).index;
if (marker.key(n).time > time) n--;
}
if (n > 0) t = time - marker.key(n).time;amp = 15;
freq = 5;
decay = 3.0;angle = freq * 2 * Math.PI * t;
scaleFact = (100 + amp * Math.sin(angle) / Math.exp(decay * t)) / 100;
[value[0] * scaleFact, value[1] / scaleFact];
}
catch (err) {[100,100]}TIA

I haven’t tested this, so there may be typos, but I’m guessing what you’re trying to do will be structured like this:
n = 0;
if (marker.numKeys > 0){
n = marker.nearestKey(time).index;
if (marker.key(n).time > time) n--;
}
if (n > 0){
comment = marker.key(n).comment;
t = time - marker.key(n).time;
switch (comment){
case "scale":
// do something
break;
case "other":
// do something different
break;
default:
break;
}
}else
value
