Hi Liran,
I have one more question about the animation I’m doing.
So now I have my counter and my text appearing. When the text appears, the counter starts from 0 to the total of characters.
Question : Do you think it’s possible to choose the counter’s start ? For the first text I need the counter starts from 0, but for the next text I would like the counter start from the last total and so on.
Is it possible ?
Thanks

Hi Liran,
Thank you very much for your help, I tried on my project and after couples of tests it worked!! ☺
So the main problem was actually because of my after effect’s version which was in french. So I had to change to english version and adapt the algorithm according to my elements and animations.
I have just one last question : Is it possible to force the counter to show just the simple number (from 0 to 1, 2, 3…) without comma and what come after?

Hi Liran,

So I tried with your algorithm :
startValue=thisComp.layer(“textLayerName”).text.animator(“AnimatorName”).selector(“Range Selector 1”).start;
Text=thisComp.layer(“textLayerName”).text.sourceText;
Text.length*startValue/100;

I replaced “textLayerName” by my text layer called TEXTE and “AnimatorName” by my second text layer used as counter TC.
But it still doesn’t work. I always got an error message. I also tried to replace TEXTE with TC but no change.
Am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Liran,
So I just tried but can’t manage to make it work.
I am pasting the algorithm but nothing else except an error message… Even though I think I am pasting the algorithm on the good line.

Hi Liran,
First of all thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
I just tried the code. Now the counter it’s writing the total number of characters but it doesn’t start from zero it just show the total.
What I am looking for is the evolution from zero to the total number of characters depending of the text’s length.
Is there a way to show the counter climb up together with the text appearing on the screen?
