controlling rate and stop time with slider
posing my question again, hopefully simpler this time:
what’s the best way to have an object always moving in one direction where it’s speed can modified by a slider that allows it to stop?
right now i’ve got position X = time*rate, where rate is the slider, but it causes it to move backwards when i try to stop it.

The only way I know of is to do a frame-by-frame integration of the rate multiplied by the frame duration. Something like this:
rate = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
f = timeToFrames();
accum = 0;
for (i = 1; i <= f; i++){ accum += rate.valueAtTime(framesToTime(i))*thisComp.frameDuration; } value + [accum,0] Dan -
thanks, dan. this works, but it appears to be giving me little flickers of movement (not smooth). i got similar results even in just doing a time*rate or timeToFrames(time)*rate situation. any thoughts?

nevermind, that seemed to just be this computer being on for days.
thanks again
