Yeah, but it’s not a good one. Create a custom font from the font you’d like to use, but flop all of the characters.

Perfect. Thanks Dan! Also, thanks for answering my question on the % in expressions! And for your expressions site!

I’m not sure… Just left justifying the text wouldn’t do it. Maybe type it in backwards AND left justify the text.

Well, how about assigning the time value of a keyframe to a variable? That way I could move a keyframe and it would update an expression? That might be a little more complex than it needs though… What I’m really trying to do is have a variable that continually returns the time value when a checkbox is checked but returns zero when the checkbox isn’t checked. That will allow to pause a time-based expression and then start it again.

Try this tutorial…
https://ae.tutsplus.com/tutorials/motion-graphics/quick-tip-type-on-text-preset-with-blinking-cursor/
I’ve been trying to modify the code so that you can vary the blink rate of the cursor and have had success using Math.abs(Math.round(Math.cos(“pickwhip slider value here”*time))) instead of the time%1. The trick seems to be pausing it and making the text move up a line when one line is filled (as if it were bottom aligned). I think I could pause it if I could figure out a way to record a time value when a checkbox is checked on or off… but I don’t know how to do that or if it’s even possible. As far as trying to get the text to move up when a line is full… I’m not sure that’s possible (based on another creative cow thread I read), but I would love to be proven wrong.

Also, how can I find out what the % really does in expressions? I know that as time approaches 1 it resets (almost like a base 1 number sytem… except for all the other numbers used in the decimal places), but am unclear on the definition of “%”.

Under positioning mode, change the source type to 3d, then it will enable you to access the “position z” parameter.

Is Michael Jordan your real name? I know this is off topic, but I grew up in Chicago and I’m just curious.
