mod expression

[Tong Le]

I want to generate something every 5 frames. The only one way I am thinking about is using mod or if(($F % 5 == 0),0,1). But I think my expression is not, cos it gives me error when i use either mod() or %.

How can I get these kind of result?

Thanks,

Tong Le

if(($F % 5 == 0),0,1)

Because you try to make two booleans in one check. You ask Is $F divide by 5 (this is first boolean so it can be true or false) and then again you asking IS $F%5 is equal to zero(this is second boolean).

So you asking something like: Is true/false is equal to true/false.

NO

You compare values and if this compare is true/false than it will work.

This is correct:

if($F%5,0, 1)

If you want to make nested if statements make this:

if($F%5, if($F == 0, 0, 1), 2)

aha, thanks. Swann.

Replying to a (possibly) dead thread, but from what I understand,

 

$F%5 would do a $F/5 and return an integer remainder, so the expression would output a sequence 1,2,3,4,0,1,2,3,4,0,etc as $F increases.

 

 

If, on the other hand, you wanted an output of 0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,etc, I believe the expression to use would be if(($F % 5 == 0),1,0)

 

This would perform a modulus function on $F, giving you the previously stated sequence 0,1,2,3,4,0,1,2,3,4,etc, which the conditional if() then checks for equality to the value , and if the boolean equality returns a true ($F can be divided by 5 with no remainder), output a 1, else output a .
