This was the final expression I used:

haha I just realised reading through it, I have a very redundant “+1” and then “-1”

same as what you had basically but with the redundancy haha

tStart = inPoint;
dur = effect("Duration")("Slider");
delay = effect("Delay")("Slider");
totalStrokes = thisProperty.propertyGroup(3).numProperties;
reversedIndex = totalStrokes - thisProperty.propertyGroup(2).propertyIndex + 1;
t1 = tStart + delay * (reversedIndex - 1);
t2 = t1 + dur;
linear(time,t1,t2,0,100)

Hi Dan, sorry for late reply – this is the error

[Miren Patel]

The only thing – putting this into practice, is that all the brush strokes animate on backward (in terms of when they were drawn) trying to figure out if there is a way to change the expression slightly so that it sequences them the other way around.

maybe finding the total number of propertyindex’s and then subtracting the property index with the total number to get a new number

I hate you for making me realise I didn’t think about making an expression.

Thank you, you genius.

Tbf I wouldn’t have thought about “property index”

I tried the script, it seems to come up with an error, but the expression works absolutely fine, I have no problem doing ‘copy expression only’ – cmdA – cmdV

Thanks!!

Hi all, no worries,

I managed to amend the issue.

First off I added more rotation segments to the cylinder that I was using as a collider

Secondly I altered the “rest hold” property of the spline dynamics of the hair tag. By just changing this from 0% to 2% I managed to eliminate the issue, almost entirely! ☺
