Changing properties of an expression at a certain point in time
Hello. First time poster and very, very new to the world of expressions.
My apologies if this same question appears in a different post.
I would like to know if it is possible to change the elements of an expression at a certain point.
For example, let’s say I have a wiggle expression on the opacity of an object, and I am wiggling like so: Wiggle(1,10)
But after 3 seconds of this, I would like the wiggle to change to: Wiggle(1,5).
How might I go about this?

One way,
if (time < 3)
wiggle(1,10)
else
wiggle(1,50)but this will probably generate a discontinuity at 3 seconds. So another approach would be:
w1 = wiggle(1,10);
w2 = wiggle(1,5);
ease(time,2.75,3.25,w1,w2);Dan

Seems simple enough. Thanks Mr. Ebberts.
I just have one more question. Let’s say after the Second Wiggle (1,50) I want it to drop down back to (1,10) is it as simple as adding in a w3 element and including it in the ease equation?
Best,

More like this probably:
w1 = wiggle(1,10);
w2 = wiggle(1,50);
easeTime = .5;
t1 = 3;
t2 = 6;
if (time < (t1+t2)/2)
ease(time,t1-easeTime/2,t1+easeTime/2,w1,w2)
else
ease(time,t2-easeTime/2,t2+easeTime/2,w2,w1);Dan

Dan you’re wonderful!
