VEX query - unable to get a bounce effect

[archz2]

I am following this youtube tutorial for VEX. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xhmDWAyPRA

At 14 min 48 seconds, he achieves a bounce effect. However, when I press the play button, the shape doesn't act that way. It only expands and contracts once. 

I have typed in the same code but the ramp isn't resetting the shape after regular time intervals. What is it that I am doing wrong?

Here's a short screenrecording that I made

Hi,

I haven't seen this tuto, but you can explicitly keep the fraction part of the time like this:

float blend = @Time % 1.0;

Otherwise the values get larger than 1, and so the ramp caps them at 1, hence why the "bounce" stops.

Thanks a lot . Editing the time worked really well. Can you also check out the tutorial please? I wonder why the same line of code worked for the tutor but not for me.

It seems like SESI changed the behaviour of ramps so now no more implicit cycling behaviour. The author needs to update his tuto.
