I’m not sure if you’re aware that expressions can’t retain any info from frame to frame (apologies if you already knew that). But this should work:

Math.floor(time%10);

What’s controlling the timing of the moves, comp markers? If so, you expression needs to figure out which two markers the current time is between and use that to determine how far along it should be in the ease between the positions corresponding to those two markers. Something like this probably:


m = thisComp.marker;
if (m.numKeys > 0){
n = m.nearestKey(time).index;
if (time < m.key(n).time) n--;
if (n == 0){
val = thisComp.layer("Name " + 1).transform.position;
}else if (n == m.numKeys){
val = thisComp.layer("Name " + m.numKeys).transform.position;
}else{
inPos = thisComp.layer("Name " + n).transform.position;
outPos = thisComp.layer("Name " + (n+1)).transform.position;
val = ease(time, m.key(n).time, m.key(n+1).time, inPos, outPos);
}
[val[0],val[1],value[2]];
}else
value

At each frame, the result of an expression will be the last thing it calculates. What are you trying to get it to do?

Like this probably:


tStart = 3;
if (time >= tStart){
segDur = 1;
rampDur = 5*thisComp.frameDuration;
degrees = 36;
t = (time - tStart)%segDur;
seg = Math.floor((time-tStart)/segDur);
degrees*seg + linear(t,0,rampDur,0,degrees);
}else
0

Not tested, but it should be like this:

tStart = 3;
f = timeToFrames(Math.max(time-tStart,0));
value + Math.floor(f/3)

I don’t think you’re going to be able to do anything like that using JavaScript’s string.repeat() function.

What would the result of that look like?

Try replacing:

[num]

with:

num + ” views”;

Also, you should move the function to the top of the expression.

I think you just need to get rid of the “-” operator at the beginning of your text expression.

Maybe like this then:

w = wiggle(0.2,60);
w %= 360;
w += (w < 0) ? 360 : 0;
