Question to the experts of the forum:
I have a text and want to move it from the right to the left.
When the text passes a certain mark at the left it start at the right again.
Thanks for the answers in advance

I always struggle with this . Sometimes I get it straight away sometimes it is a struggle . It is all about the width of what you are scrolling so if that is changing you will get a gap . I try to run it so there is not a massive gap so it can involve 3 layers . If the Layer is wide you can get away with 2 .
I will post something soon . If one of the Cavalry does not sort it .

Here is a legacy topic see the Giants Play . I don’t think your Question is answered well but it is interesting to see what they were saying about the subject 7 years ago .

I will make a test to try explain it better .

Ha Ha Bless . You might end up Hating me . I made this quickly it is a WIP . Meaning it may change . If you change the colours of the layers you will see what happens . I think To use two layers the Text to scroll has to be one half the size bigger than the window .
I will try to make the Maths More descriptive . I would strugglge to put into words what is happening there .

Trying to get this to work with the Weather text option and it only scrolls 1/2 way through the face.

You have to take into account an offset that is half the window size . An associate of mine has just said you must Fix the Text ( window ) width . You must set that to the longest text string . Are you using the Default Facer Description ? You might be better off making your own . I have noticed Open weather slip in a Description that Facer don’t flag up in the Test slider . Sorry I can not Remember what it is . I will add the weather description to the test above . As I said It is a WIP so it will be changing all the time . Keep your eye on it .

X position:
160 +(50 * (sin(#DWE#*0.1 * pi))))
160 = starting X coordinate
50 = how far it will move from starting X point
0.1 = speed
Change to your liking.
edited: now the formula is correct, for some reason facer removed * (multiply) sign in front of pi.
Remove spaces between numbers and letters

Absolutely splendid - PMD (Peter’s Mathematical Description) Method in action. I really appreciate you describing and explaining what is what. It’s more work for you I understand, but it will make this forum even better than it already is. If only people would search the forum first!

It is probably because this forum pages recognize * as sign for start or end of formating.
160 +(50*(sin(#DWE#0.1pi))))
160 +(50*(sin(#DWE#*0.1*pi))))
If you have multiple such signs in formula, put it as whole in apostrophes or mark it as preformated text (ctrl+e)

I think that shortcut will appear when you point your cursor at the formating button and probably works different in another apps.
