Need help with animated array

[Pete]

Hi there,

I was wondering if someone could help me out getting started with this, i imagine it's a pretty simple thing to do but I've only done really basic ICE flows so far.
What I want to do is spawn a point at x0,1,2,3, - 10 position on the grid but to have each point spawn a second apart.
This was going to form the basis of a more complicated animation but I cant even get the start bit working
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks
Pete

Maybe something like this?

Thanks Steve,
That looks like a great start!

Hey I set up a basic compound to emit a point per second, the only thing is I can't seem to speed the rate up.
If i change the 1.000 in Modulo by to 2.00 for example it doesn't work at all. Hmmm i think it might be tied to the framerate.




and here's the compound if anyone wants to check it out.

Don't you have to lower the Modulo By value, if you want more points ? It doesn't control the rate, but the interval (the opposite).

Also, you might want to work with Current Frame instead of Current Time (=seconds), because with Time, it's easy to fall into decimal frames - and then they won't be evaluated, at least in a default ICE tree.

Yeah, that's the value i was lowering. And for some reason it's wasn't speeding things up.
I switched it to current frame though and now it's much easier to understand and speed up.
Thanks for that.
