Using Slider Control with Repeater on Shape Layer
I have a circle shape layer. I added a repeater. I added a slider control to the Copies value, and edited the min and max values of the slider to 8 & 12. I want the slider to vascilate randomly between 8 and 12, but only want whole numbers. I’m currently getting decimals and it’s causing weird fading.
The end result I’m going for is that the dots will appear randomly to emulate a volume LED meter, but I don’t want to use audio keyframes, I just want the dots to appear randomly between the values of 8 and 12.
I hope I’m making sense. I’ve attached a screenshot of my work so far.
Thanks.

This should generate whole numbers between 8 and 12, but I suspect it’s not what you want (you didn’t mention anything about timing):
Math.floor(random(8,13))

Thanks Dan. I tried adding that expression to the Slider Control before I posted my question, but when I played it back, it didn’t work.
As for timing, my limited knowledge of expressions leads me to believe that adding a wiggle would work.
So, basically, dots 8-12 would appear on and off like flashing to the beat of music…like an LED meter on a stereo.
How far off am I from realizing this agenda?

Okay, for some reason I shut down AE, restarted it, and now it works! NOW, is there any way to make them not be so spastic? 🙂
