For-each odd number

[zjie]

Hi guys, I am learning to use the for-each loop and doing a flipping animation, which on each iteration, each primitive will flip up in clock-wise direction,  is there a way to make it such that on each odd number iteration, it will flip anti clockwise?

And also right now I'm using timeshift to delay the animation, if there a way to use an effector instead?

Thanks for the help!

have this expression on your first keyframe: bezier()*if(detail("../foreach_count1/","iteration",0)%2==0,1,-1)   (just add the bold part)

Thanks, another question here, in my offset ty, is it possible to use the bounding box YMAX of the previous iteration, rather than multiplying it with a 0.52 value?

no i don't think so but you can use this bbox("../foreach_begin1/", D_ZSIZE)*detail("../foreach_count1/","iteration",0) to get rid of the hard coded value and stay fully procedural
