jumping counter expression

[Filip Vandueren]

Math.floor(time/2)*6;

or:


startTime=0;
incTime=2;
inc=6;

Math.floor((time>startTime?time-startTime:0)/incTime)*inc;

Great this works, but how can I start with a specific value in the display. If I change the start parameter nothing happens ;-(

[Filip Vandueren]

That would be:


startValue=3;
startTime=0;
incTime=2;
inc=6;

startValue + Math.floor((time>startTime?time-startTime:0)/incTime)*inc;


startTime would be if you want the counting to begin later.

You’re not going to want to name a variable “startTime” because it’s already defined as the read-only start time of the layer. So you can’t change it. Not very useful as a variable. 🙂 (Learned the hard way – tough bug to find)

Thanks Dan,

didn’t test the expression… d’oh

This will work:

beginValue=3;
beginTime=5;
incTime=2;
inc=6;

beginValue + Math.floor((time>beginTime?time-beginTime:0)/incTime)*inc;
