THANK YOU ! I’ve been searching for this for hours!

Thanks Dan,
By the way, I am using your code for the type writing animation, thank you for that. But, is there a way to obtain the time of the end of the animation with a variation of this code?
I need to know when the animation of typewriting will end depending of the number of character to enter.
For exemple 20 characters = 100 frames.

I need this because I want to trigger another animation at the end of the typing. And since there is no “timeAtValue” option that I can use, I thought about extracting this value from the source code of the animation.

PS: I’m working on a template. that’s why I need this value.

Thanks again.

minRate = 3; // frames per character
maxRate = 6;

charCount = 0;
t = 0;
seedRandom(index,true);
while (t < time){
charCount++;
t += framesToTime(random(minRate,maxRate));
}
value.substr(0,charCount)

Hi and thank you for your responses !
I managed to do it with an idéa similar to yours with this code on the Opacity:
s=thisComp.layer(“TITLE”).text.sourceText; //text
L=s.length; //nomber of characters
cf=thisComp.frameDuration;
LX=(s.valueAtTime(time-cf)).length;// number of characters one image before.
100* (L-LX)

This way if the value is the same the opacity is 0, if it’s not which mean a new character was added the opacity is 100 and it goes back to 0 just after.

But I’m wondering with your solution what is the ! after N0 ? in this line : if(n0 != n1) 100 else 0.

Thanks again.
