Made a better version, but still need to look at the maximum height

var maxw = 1540;
var maxh = 800;

var nr_rules = effect(“nr_regels”)(“Slider”);

var r1 = comp(“txtFill s1r1”).layer(“txt-w1”);
var r2 = comp(“txtFill s1r2”).layer(“txt-w1”);
var r3 = comp(“txtFill s1r3”).layer(“txt-w1”);

var r1w = r1.sourceRectAtTime().width;
var r2w = r2.sourceRectAtTime().width;
var r3w = r3.sourceRectAtTime().width;

var totalw = Math.max(r1w,r2w,r3w);
var totalw = nr_rules == 2 ? Math.max(r1w,r2w) : totalw;
var totalw = nr_rules == 1 ? r1w : totalw;

var r1h = r1.sourceRectAtTime().height;
var r2h = r2.sourceRectAtTime().height;
var r3h = r3.sourceRectAtTime().height;

var totalh = r1h + r2h + r3h;
var totalh = nr_rules == 2 ? r1h + r2h : totalh;
var totalh = nr_rules == 1 ? r1h : totalh;

var sw = maxw / totalw * 100;
var sh = maxh / totalh * 100;

var tot = 100;

if (sw >= 140) tot = 140 else tot = sw;

Thanks Dan, I will try that.

I kind of fixed it for now with this

letters = “design”;
dur = 7; // frames per letter
idx = Math.floor(timeToFrames(time – framesToTime(15))/dur)%letters.length;
if (time > framesToTime(15))
letters[idx]
else
letters[0]

This shows the first letter until the animation starts.

Another question, how do I start the script at a specific frame, for example frame 15?
Sliding the layer in time doesn’t work. I tried adding this, but that doesn’t work neither.

if (time > .6) {
letters = “design”;
dur = 7; // frames per letter
idx = Math.floor(timeToFrames(time)/dur)%letters.length;
letters[idx];
}

The generated character are linked to an animation that starts at frame 15. So it starts with the letter s and not d, it skips the first two characters.

Thanks Dan! Works perfect!
