SOLVED: Add value, every nth frame?

[gitarrenvogel]

Hi,

does anybody know, how I can achieve to add something to a value every nth frame and not to reset that added amount after that frame. I want particles to get higher in a "jumpy" way every 10 frames or so, keep that value for 10 frames and do the same again. I thought about that for a few days now and can't come to a solution.

Cheers, Lukas

Hey Lukas,
I would try using the modulo of the current frame.

Code: Select all

currentframe __ modulo ____ equal __________ if ____ execute
         10 __/           /                /
                     0 __/                /
                                    add _/

Thanks for your recommendation, but isn't this pretty much the same, as if I'd use an every nth frame node?
Let me get this right: I use the current frame as modulo value and modulo it by 10, so it is constantly counting from 0 to 9. I take this value and look, when it's equal to zero, which is every 10th frame, so I get a positive boolean every 10th frame. Or did I get you wrong?
Thank you!

lol, I didn't know about 'every nth frame' compound.
Yes, it is pretty much the same thing

Are you working in a simulated ICETree?

Ah, ok
So, I came up with a solution, if anybody is interested: I took the current frame divided it by the value X - which is the frame step I want - then round that amount. Now it counts +1 every X number of frames. So I can use this as a multiplier for my add-value.
