Randomize Transparency using Checkbox + Duration?
Hello everyone,
I have a grid of squares, and I need to randomize the transparency (on/off) of each square in this grid;
I am using the expression pasted below applied to each square’s transparency, so when the checkbox is set to ‘0’ the square is off, and when it’s 100 it’s on.
I now need to randomize the on/off cycle of each square independently;
If I apply the wiggle to randomize the on/off cycle I cannot control the duration of the 2 phases, while I need the boxes to be ‘on’ for a maximum of (let’s say) 1 to 2 seconds, and off for something between 3 to 8 seconds.
Is there any way to assign a range of time for the 0 and 100 value of the checkbox?
Thank you very much in advance
Giacomo

Something like this maybe:
t = tPrev = inPoint;
while (t <= time){
tPrev = t;
seedRandom(t,true);
tOn = random(1,2);
tOff = random(3,8);
t += tOn+tOff;
}
if (time < tPrev + tOn) 100 else 0;
