Check on(√) and Hold(?) every X frames?

[A_Quiet_Life]

Hey everyone,

I have done a lot of searching and trying out, but still can not seem to figure out how to get this to work (while using only one layer).

Simply said: I want to create an expression for a Checkbox Control that allows me to check it on every 24th frame and hold it for 2 frames (before it goes off again).

To check it on every 24th frame was not that hard, but to hold it for 2 extra frames just does not seem to work for me.

Code (to turn it on every 24th frame):

frameCount = timeToFrames(time);

if (frameCount%24 == 0) {

  value == 1

} else {

  value == 0

}

Any help is appreciated!

Since the frame count starts at 0, the 24th frame would be frame 23. So it would be on at frames 23,24,47,48, etc. I think this does that:

f = timeToFrames(time);

(f%24 == 23) || ((Math.floor(f/24) > 0) && (f%24 == 0))

If that's not exactly what you wanted, it should be easy to adjust...

Dan,

I appreciate the quick answer. It was exactly what I was looking for.

I was staring myself blind on finding a way to fix this within the if-statement (with delays, time offsets, etc.). This seems so logical, but still I could not figure it out haha. And you are right, I meant the 23th frames instead of the 24th (keep forgetting counting the 0 frame).

Thank you so much!
