number of layers distribute up opacities
i’m trying to make a trail of squares rain down.
i want it to be expandable later, so i want to utilize “thisComp.numLayers” to distribute opacity.
so if there are 5 layers, i want index 1 to be 100%, index to be 80%, index 3 to be 60%, etc.
but if i want to do 6 layers, it would automatically switch them to 100, 84, 68, and so on.
i’m stuck trying to be get this backwards. i’m using (index-1)…valueAtTime(time-X) so the order is important.
if anyone has any other advice on how to make a Matrix-y, squares raining down with trails grid, that’d be great too. i just think i need a “math person” for this specific hurtle

Try this:
n = thisComp.numLayers;
(n – index+ 1)*100/nDan

ah yes. works perfectly. i knew it would involve the variable twice, but i just couldnt get there. i think what i was really missing was the idea of adding 1 to the index
thanks, dan!
