  • Having trouble making a repeated shape move in the y axis only?

    Posted by Louis Ferrante on August 7, 2013 at 8:23 pm

    Ok so what Im working on is sort of a jayse hensen shape out of iron man

    what I want is each piece to wiggle on the y axis only I tried setting the x,y,z and w=wiggle but that didnt work at least not with my settigns perhaps someone else can help me when I set x to its parent parameteres and z to 0 it makes a whacked out spiral for some reason… I will admit i am very new to expressions so bare with me. Thankyou for any help

    Like this maybe:

    w = wiggle(1,25);
    [value[0],w[1],value[2]]

    still cant get it working properly and im not even sure why…I just offset them with dif settings but I still would like the insides to have a y scale expression so they can slide up and down…

    and its all repeaters so it puts that weird spin of having several transformer properties and the shape properties themselves.
