color change to blinking cursor expression
I’m using this expression to animate a blinking cursor.
I would like to change the color and size of the cursor. Is this possible?CH = Math.round(effect("LetterNumber")("Slider"));
BlinkSpd = effect("BlinkSpeed")("Slider");
F = Math.round((time * BlinkSpd) % 1); //result flickers between 0 and 1 for blinker on-off;
TypeSpd = effect("LetterNumber")("Slider").speed;
if (F==1 | TypeSpd > 0){Cursor = "|"} else {Cursor = "";}
substr(0,CH) + Cursor;

You could add an animator for fill color and scale (set to what you want for the cursor), add an expression selector (delete the range selector), and set the expression selector’s amount expression to something like this:
CH = Math.round(effect(“LetterNumber”)(“Slider”));
if (textIndex < CH+1) 0 else 100Dan

Thanks Dan. That worked Perfectly.

I have an issue with this expression. When Justified Right, the line bounces back and forth with the blinking of the cursor. I understand why but is there any simple fix for it ? I added a space between the ” ” but that of course is not perfect.
CH = Math.round(effect("LetterNumber")("Slider"));
BlinkSpd = effect("BlinkSpeed")("Slider");
F = Math.round((time * BlinkSpd) % 1); //result flickers between 0 and 1 for blinker on-off;
TypeSpd = effect("LetterNumber")("Slider").speed;
if (F==1 | TypeSpd > 0){Cursor = "|"} else {Cursor = " ";}
substr(0,CH) + Cursor;
