exposeTM with wire to offset rotation ?

[PEN]

Use the tick offset in the script or expression controller to offset the animation. Connect them all up to just one EXTm helper that is exposing the transforms of the control object.

got your point,
but i´m using wire parameter......how can i do with it ?

[PEN]

You can't really with a wire. You can't use at time in the expression as it just doesn't work. You can use a script controller and use the tick off set but I prefer to use a variable and use at time (currentTime-theVar) in the expression area. theVar should have a reference to a spinner in your control UI.

expTM = $exposeTM.localeuler
val = $point_green.modifiers[#Attribute_Holder].T_Delay._value

at time (currentTime - val)
(
( eulerangles (expTM) (expTM) (expTM) )
)


...got this error :
>> MAXScript Script Controller Exception: -- Unable to convert: [0,0,0] to type: Float <<

....please,help......

could you show me how the code should look like ?

The problem is you are trying to place a point3 ([0,0,0]) to a value that should only be one of the values from the matrix. Try: expTM = $exposeTM.localeuler
val = $point_green.modifiers[#Attribute_Holder].T_Delay._value
at time (currentTime - val)
(
expTM
)-Eric

nop....got that

dependsOn point_red'
FD = $point_green.modifiers[#Attribute_Holder].T_test.Delay
at time (currentTime + FD)
(
rot1 = ( $'point_yellow'.transform.rotation )
)
rot2 = ( $'point_yellow'.transform.rotation)
rot1 - rot2

these two have a lot of points, springs and constraints.....

boring to set up,
slowly to animate, not good in viewport and Max´s system gets extremely SLUGSSH.....=/....


....help....
