Learning sequence

Wauw, I’m with you, although I don’t understand a bit orf the code. What is ABS? I only know the one in the car.
What part of the code changes the strech?
How can you time it, like around 6 o’clock the hands must be the longest and 12 o’clock the shortest?

fixed!

Cool . I will show you longest a 12 in a minute . ABS converts all numbers positive or negative to Positive . Great for crossing zero .

I have used the 24 hrs slider for the simulation . You can substitute any of the rotational hand tags into the formula . only change the first and last numbers . your images should have a pivot point like hands do .

Correct to say that:

For the headbang

(350+(10+((sin(rad((#DWFSS#)*#ZHR#)))*10)))

This can be used if you want just movement with no exact results in outer values, because it’s connected to heartbeat. Random movement/ shaking = jigging

Hour (minute) hand

(350+((abs((#DWFHS#)-180))/180)*200)

Better option if exact max. values are needed, like for the minute hand: max. height en min. height and everything in between.

Correct?

Formulas are put correctly now with the preformatted text button?

So you are right in your explanation . I am not good at explaining things . I should try get better .

You have tried to protect you Formulas with Quotes " .
The Icon </> in the Menu Bar when you are typing is the Best wat to protect Formulas . Also highlights it in Red .

(350+((abs((#DWFHS#)-180))/180)*200)

I normally use this to Phase Something twice a second ( *120 ) It is a great little formula for jigging things. So we include the heart rate as the timing base and add a basic length to it .

(50+((sin(rad((#DWFSS#)*120)))*50))

Correct to say that:

For the headbang

(350+(10+((sin(rad((#DWFSS#)*#ZHR#)))*10)))

This can be used if you want just movement with specific results in values.

Hour (minute) hand

(350+((abs((#DWFHS#)-180))/180)*200)

This is better when you wanna have exact max. values, like for example max. height en min. height and everything in between.

Correct?

Yes you told me before.
Now I first hit ‘</>’ and then typed the text. I suppose I put a formula first, highlight it, and th n click ‘</>’.

Yes Correct . I wish I could explain things better.

$#DWE#<1.5?100:0$

Hi Russel

I want to give a round of headbang when awakening, for 1.5 sec.
Then I put the sequence (and red background) to 0 opacity.
But…

  • I don’t understand why it’s not visible
  • when I click something (another layer, play…), formula is gone and opacity set to 0
    ?

Looking at your screen grab you have the trigger on sync . You need to trigger on Wake .

You want to change your duration to .75 and get two revolutions or Switch of Loop and just have one Round say .6 sec.

Ha Ha .
You are trying to catch me out .

Paste this in your Y position

$#DWE#<1.5?149:999$

Check the Opacity of the layer is 100

If you paste a formula in to opacity when you run it the formula gets wiped .

So for Sequences the opacity can only be 0 or 100 but no Formulas .

You Can Not use Opacity changes with a Sequence .

Ooh That’s new to me. I will give it a shot and keep you posted.
It’s not wrong to keep talking in this thread?

Nothing on the Community is wrong except Abuse . Everything that we have done on here is on Topic . It will be useful to someone else if they want to go through it . I thought we had covered Sequence Opacity already . I have been through it so many times I forget which Topics . Also it is difficult to scroll back through a Long Topic .

You keep it coming .

Check your RIP Race you have used the Y disappearing trick on a few Sequences already .

Yes no problem.
I understand well now that 2 handy tricks to show or hide are: opacity and off screen.
But i didn’t know opacity don’t work with a sequence :smirk:

Yes, for sure. I can make a manual one time for the total newbies :laughing:

If you are thinking of a manual make notes as you go . When you are on a learning curve what comes up is important at that stage . Remember most do not start with Sequences and Animation . One day I will tell you all about the Accelerometers and Gyros but not on this Topic . :rofl: :grinning:

I have already an extended onenote-doc with categories like interesting inspection faces, formulas, etc And it’s growing each day :grinning:

Ha Ha. You must remember that there are Different ways of doing things. You should also look at some of the Legacy stuff. You will see ther another level and style of maths. You should hunt down the maths of @petruuccios. He uses a Descriptive style which illustrates how the maths works by including all the Numbers and Opperands in the Formula. This makes it great for butchering.
