Making a loop that changes based off markers.
I have a solid that I want to do the following loop…
frame 1: scale is 100:90
frame 2: scale is 100:100
frame 3: scale is 100:90
(etc..)then, after it hits a marker point I want the loop to change to this
loop2 frame 1 is 100:50
loop2 frame 2 is 50:100
loop2 frame 3 is 100:50
(etc..)ideally, I’d like to have even more variations based off new markers in the future.
is this possible? Unfortunately I cannot time remap a precomp or anything like that because I have other layers that are parented to the scaling layer and would like them to scale with the loops. I hope this makes sense. Thank you.

Something like this should get you started:
odd = timeToFrames(time)%2;
if (marker.numKeys > 0 && time > marker.key(1).time){
odd ? [50,100] : [100,50]
}else{
odd ? [100,100] : [100,90]
}

thanks for the help. what does the ‘?’ in the expression do, exactly?
thanks again for your assistance.

It’s just a compact form of the if/else construct.
odd ? [50,100] : [100,50]
is the same as
if (odd)
[50,100]
else
