Wiggle specific fill color values

[Dan Ebberts]

This would be one way to do it:


freq = 1;

r = thisLayer.transform.rotation;
w = Math.abs(r.wiggle(freq,100)-r);
if (w < 20)
[242,0,23,255]/255
else if (w < 40)
[204,204,204,255]/255
else if (w < 60)
[0,55,150,255]/255
else if (w < 80)
[1,1,1,1]
else
[0,0,0,1];

That works wonderfully!

Many thanks!

Dan always to the rescue!

I ended up here trying to figure out a way to wiggle specific position values.
So instead of randomly jumping from an array of numbers, I want to transition smoothly.

Is there a way to make it work?

[Dan Ebberts]

I’m not sure what you’re after exactly. Maybe something like this:

freq = 2;
period = 1/freq;
positions = [[100,100],[200,100],[100,200],[200,200]];
seed = Math.floor(time*freq);
seedRandom(seed,true);
curDest = positions[Math.floor(random(positions.length))];
seedRandom(seed-1,true);
prevDest = positions[Math.floor(random(positions.length))];
t = time%period;
ease(t,0,period,prevDest,curDest)

Wow, this is exactly what I was looking for!
I kinda had a go at it today following your Random Motion chapter but the code you just posted has those pauses in the motion that I was looking for.

Does it happen because the same value “gets chosen twice”?

[Dan Ebberts]

Yes, that will happen with this version. The more positions in the array, the less like it will happen though.

Thank you Dan!
