Going further, this is what I have to do to actually iterate through the index values in the "iterator question current index" and have it work correctly.
-Take an interpolation patch, set to external time, connect external time to current position from iterator variables. -Set start val to 0, set connect end value to iteration output of iterator variables. -Place interpolate in "loop" mode (not "none"). This just seems weird. It seems like the output index of iterator variables should "just work". At least doing this makes the sprites place at the expected positions. -George Toledo On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 10:23 AM, George Toledo <[email protected]> wrote: > I have two questions: > > 1: If I have a sprite that is being iterated, and x positions are being > offset by the iterator/interpolation combo, how do I do manipulate the value > of a specific iteration while maintaining the offsets dictated by the > interpolation for the rest of the iterations?
