random on off, flicker too fast

[Julian Sixx]

Hi

maybe sth. like this

seedRandom(index, 1);
wiggle(0.04, 0.5, octaves = 5, amp_mult = 100)

or this one from Dan

LightOn =1;
LightOff =0.5;

t = Math.round(time)%(LightOn +LightOff);
if (t >= LightOn) 100 else 0

But all layers turn on+off at the same time.Dan,Filip how would you add some randomness to it?

[Dan Ebberts]

This seems to work:

minOnTime = .5;
maxOnTime = 2.0;
minOffTime = .5;
maxOffTime = 1.5;

i = 0;
tEnd = 0;
seedRandom(index,true);

preRun = random(maxOnTime);
while (time + preRun >= tEnd){
i++;
if(i%2){
tEnd += random(minOnTime,maxOnTime);
result = 100;
}else{
tEnd += random(minOffTime,maxOffTime);
result = 0;
}
}
result

Dan, were do I paste your expression? Position/Opacity/ect? from the layer

[Bas V breugel]

dumb question.. opacity it is.

Come on Bas, this was peanuts when we where in Art school together 😉
