  • how to “wiggle” horizontal position only??

    Posted by Danny Baldauf on September 11, 2009 at 11:40 am

    hi,

    i want to randomly animate an object in my composition. so far i realize it with the wellknown code below.

    now my problem is, this animates it horizontally AND vertically, but i only want it the horizontal way.

    any suggestions for me how the script must look like?

    THANKS! 🙂

    use this:

    [wiggle(5,20)[0],position[1]]

    if you had an object in 3D space and wanted to wiggle z only, then it would look like this:

    [position[0],position[1],wiggle(1,200)[2]]

    The Help page for the wiggle method gives examples and explains further.
