Leaf falling expression to a stop
I came across this expression for emulating the falling of leaves. However, it just keeps “falling” forever. I was wondering if there is anyway of making it stop after some point, i.e., when ‘y’ is bigger than a specific value, say 1080 (the border of the screen.
position
sp=2;
amp=150;
gravity = 50;
x = Math.sin(time*sp)*amp;
y= time*time*gravity;
value + [x,y];rotation:
sp=2;
amp=5;
x = Math.sin(time*sp)*amp;
value – x; -

Just an update, I did find a solution for the “height” value. I renamed the variables in the Comp a little bit (its name is “Shape Layer 4”). I came up with this:
x = thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 4").transform.position.valueAtTime(time)[0];
y = thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 4").position.valueAtTime(time)[1];sp=2;
amp=150;
gravity = 50;
a = Math.sin(time*sp)*amp;
b = time*time*gravity;if (b >= 900)
value + [a,900]
else
value + [a,b];
However, I still don’t know how to make the “Length” value pause, because I’d need a way to make it stop going from side to side, but at the value it was when it reached that point.
I’d also probably need to do something similar to the rotation.
Anyone has any ideas?
