self referencing valueAtTime Problem
Hi!
I have an object and its scale is driven by expressions.
i have the scale value at second 4 ———— .valueAtTime(4),
then I’m doing some calculations with it and i’m adding it to itself at second 6.because the expression is influencing the scale at second 4 too, AE is making trouble.
is there a way to say AE: don’t affect values in the past?
thanks in advance!

Hello Ludwig
I’m not pretty sure if I understand you right.
I think you can’t reference with the same expression to the valueAtTime from another second. Because AE reads the expression every frame new.
I would do it like this:
if(time>=6){
//var scale4seconds = calculations which should affect only the scale before second six
// scale4seconds + newCalculations
}else{
// do the calculations which should only affect the scale before second 6

Hi Andreas!
I can not test it right now, but i think this will make it.
It didn’t come to mind to put in in an if/else statement.I’ll give it a try when I’m on the computer,
THANK YOU!!!
