Starting / stopping expressions

[Dan Ebberts]

It depends on exactly what you’re trying to do, but generally it would look something like this:


timeToStart = 5; // start expression at 5 seconds
if (time >= timeToStart){
(your expression goes here)
}else{
value

so for example if I wanted the pendulum expression to start at 5 seconds it would look like this?

if (time >= 5){
veloc = 7;
amplitude = 80;
decay = .7;

amplitude*Math.sin(veloc*time)/Math.exp(decay*time)
}else{
value

Thanks

Yes, except that I left out the closing bracket on the else part:


if (time >= 5){
veloc = 7;
amplitude = 80;
decay = .7;
amplitude*Math.sin(veloc*time)/Math.exp(decay*time)
}else{
value
}
