Wheel of Fortune

[Dan Ebberts]

I think I’d animate the clicker once in a time remapped precomp and apply an expression like this to the timeRemap property:

numPegs = 30;
degreesPerPeg = 360/numPegs;
dur = ?? //duration of your clicker animation goes here

r = thisComp.layer(“wheel”).transform.rotation%degreesPerPeg;
linear(r,0,degreesPerPeg,0,dur)

You may need to add an offset so that it looks like the pegs are pushing the clicker, but the basic idea should work.

call me ignorant, but which part do i insert into the clicker and which part into the peg?? It’s been awhile since ive used expressions

The entire thing would go on the time remap property of the clicker precomp. The wheel you would animate some other way, (probably keyframes) and that would, in turn, drive the clicker animation.
