How to setValue to Trapcode particular size over life?
Hi everyone,
I am writing a script to drive “Trapcode particular” plugin.
Other properties like “Particles/sec”, I can simply write – property(“Particles/sec”).setValue() to drive the value.
But the .setValue() not working on “Over Life” type parameter, such as “Size over Life” or “Opacity over life”.So, how can I set the value to these “over life” by script?

My guess is that those are a custom data type, so you won’t be able set those with a script.

Hi Dan,
Coz I found some script at least can set value to pick the “presets” of “size over life”. (It kinda like drop down menu)
But of course it’s a jsxbin file…
So I am actually wondering how script can set value to “size over life presets menu”.Clifford

Your script could apply a preset (.ffx) that has that parameter specified.

Shot in the dark as i dont have particular:
Reading your description of the parameter (dropdown), you could try setting the value as an integer (1 for first choice, 2 for 2nd choice, etc):myProperty.setValue(2);
(For dropdown properties, the string is only a display info, what counts internally is the index of the menu item).
