Single Loop Radio waves
Radio waves are continuous. I would like the radio waves effect to be driven by another effect, and have only one band of waves occur when it is triggered by the other effect, but since radio waves are continuous, I don’t know how to prevent that continuous loop ?

You can tie one effect to another using expressions. Here is a bit of a quick demo using a slider, radio waves opacity (even if frequency is 0 an initial wave is emitted). RW and Ripple Pulse driven by the brightness of a lens flare.

Brain, I can’t use the file as you are using Ae CS4 and I’m using CS3, can you save backward compatibility ?

thisComp.layer(“Strong”).effect(“3D Layer Warp”)(“Warp Amount”)
I have the warp controlling the frequency, but I’m unable to change the frequency because the expression won’t allow me. Is there anyway I could change the frequency of the radio wave ?
-
Rather than use frequency I tied the expression to the RW Opacity setting.
This is quick and dirty. You could do an if/then statement to check the min/max values to trigger the waves.

I haven’t touched upon
statements, yet. Did you take a look at my previous message , hopefully you can help me. -
I haven’t touched upon
statements, yet. Do you know statements ? I wouldn’t mind trying this with statements. -
There is a frequency setting in the RW Effect.

I know but in terms of my expression, in the forth post from the top down. How can I change the frequency since my expression is now controlling it ?
Also do you know how to setup a
statement that would be based on the minmax of the waves which would control the radio wave effect ? I’d like to get my expression fixed and try and apply a statement based on the minmax values.
