  • temporal wiggle expression that only jumps forward in time

    How would one write a temporal wiggle expression that only jumps forward in time..or something
    even better to achieve the following….

    I have my 2 position keyframes set for an object that is dragging along the floor being pulled by a string
    which makes a smooth motion from A to B.
    In real life it would stutter somewhat do to the resistance of the floor…
    The temporal wiggler will jump it back & forth but I only want it to move forward.

    I could manually insert many inbetween keyframes and then drag them left and right but wonder if their was an easier expression…since I will be doing many of them.
    Thanks in advance!

    in working on it, I realize I need a random – move hold -move hold, between two keyframes..not
    a temporal as I am aiming for more realism and not stop motion..

    …have the same problem, I cant figure out how to write an expression on temporal wiggle to simulate typewriter typing with pauses (slider – source text 0 – 100). Need an expression to stuck the whole animation time to time 🙂 many thanks
