Scalar | Variation problem

#1

I’m doing some tests with Point Cache and a Shape Control and it works really well but, the main reason i’m doing this is to add a variation between particles’ end frame animation.

Without the variation it works really well. I can define a specific value for the Point Cache’s End Frame but, as soon as i add a variation, it starts changing it randomly. I though that a “new in event” could solve this but, as soon as i add it, the particles animation became static.

I already have some other problems like this with the New in Event. Sometimes i want only that parameter to be applied once but it seems to appy it to the whole adm system.

Any ideas?

the new in event can solve it, but it gets propagated down through the flow so that’s the problem you are seeing.

You need to use a output new and pipe the scalar with variation into a new float channel with a new in event.

Then you can input custom and shoot that into your shape control.
