sorry for the delay. i followed what you said and added multiple layers for the diffrent part planes in the background.
it made some progress but still far from looking usable.
i video cuptured the project so you can look for yourself

if dan is the guy behine motionscripts then helped me a lot more then i knew untill now ^^

any way thanks

[Assaf Goldlust]

at this point i think this two advance for me. i will step back untill i will learn the fields of expression more threoughly thanks for your help

[Assaf Goldlust]


What is it that you want the expression to do? If you want the rotation to increment 1 degree every frame for three seconds, that would be something like this:

yes and no…that what i was trying to do but only as a way to try to understand the “while do loop”


No, it's that your while() will loop endlessly (until it times out) because the false condition never happens (for any frame within the first three seconds)

So let me see i got this right:
becuse expressions has no memory he keep calculating the loop on every frame and becuse the condition is never false untill three second its just loops endlessy on the each frame untill its times out?

i dont get it: isent the whole purpose of “while do loop” is to get something to loop untill the condition becomes false?

dosent that makes the expression unsuable?

if it is how do i use it properly?

[Assaf Goldlust]

So lets see if i undrstood correctly:
the problem is that the exression dont have a defined comand about what to do when the condition to the loop is false?

I hope im not breaking any rule with a such delayed reply
but im having a problem.

Since im trying to understand what makes the expressions i im using tick.
I tried to learn this “while/do statement” and while trying to test it i ran into an error i have never seen before,

“Timeout while waiting for the engine Expression disabled”

Any idears about what does it mean
and how do i solve it?

Also this is the expression i wrote while making the test

(R=transform.rotation;

T=time;

while(T<3){R+1}

Pritty much what i did but still missing the part that may help me.
I will be more elobirate on this one.

Im making an animation of slides that are moving from point of the frame to the other.
inside those each of those slides there is a footage.
i want this footage to stay on freeze frame and start playing only when the slide he is in has reached a specific position (i know i
originaly wanted to start moving when the CTI is has reached a certain time, but i made changes to the project)

is there any way to pull this off?

[Assaf Goldlust]

i see, thank you.

I was trying to get the camera to move witht he null as he normaly would moved when parented to it.
but to show the position’s data in relation to the world insted of in relations to the null,

tough im having hard time understanding why its important? im trying to undersatnd why the expression got this behave the way its behaves now. i didnt asked for solutions to my problem.
