Hi Dan,

I believe you can accomplish what you’re hoping for like this:

—

Solution 1:

The solution below runs a command and does not wait for the result to return. Instead it outputs the result to a text file on your desktop.

var command = ‘echo “Hello world!”‘
var outputFile = “~/Desktop/output.txt”;
system.callSystem(‘nohup ‘ + command + ‘ > ‘ + outputFile + ‘ 2>&1 &’)

—

Solution 2:

The solution below runs a command and does not wait for the result to return. The result goes nowhere so you won’t know how the command resolved.

var command = ‘echo “Hello world!”‘;
system.callSystem(‘nohup ‘ + command + ‘ > /dev/null 2>&1 &’)

Seeing as this thread is almost 15 years old, I’m guessing no one has found out how to change the zoom level with extendscript.

I haven’t found a way to do it yet. Might not be supported 🙁

Thanks for the help Dan!

Your reply helped me figure out that my range selector was set to “Index” and that’s why I couldn’t access it with ExtendScript 🙂 (because the property was ‘hidden’)

Range Selector Percentage:

myLayer.property(“ADBE Text Properties”).property(“ADBE Text Animators”).property(“ADBE Text Animator”).property(“ADBE Text Selectors”).property(“ADBE Text Selector”).property(“ADBE Text Percent Start”)

Range Selector Index:

myLayer.property(“ADBE Text Properties”).property(“ADBE Text Animators”).property(“ADBE Text Animator”).property(“ADBE Text Selectors”).property(“ADBE Text Selector”).property(“ADBE Text Index Start”)

Neither of these is exactly what you’re asking for, but hope you find some of it helpful 🙂

You could try something like this. It should work pretty will with Dan Ebbert’s bounce expression:

var influence = 450; //How much do you want to influence the rotation;
var squahLimit = 200; // What’s the maximum allowed rotation;

//var newSquash = transform.scale + transform.position.velocityAtTime(time)/(10000/influence);

var newSquash = transform.scale + [transform.position.velocityAtTime(time)[0]/(10000/influence),transform.position.velocityAtTime(time)[1]/(10000/influence)];

if (newSquash > squahLimit) newSquash = squahLimit
else if (newSquash < squahLimit*-1) newSquash = squahLimit*-1;

transform.scale + newSquash - [100,100]
