The parameter affected by the rule
|
|
|
An expression that defines how the parameter value is modified. If this is blank, the parameter is unmodified. You can type
any VBScript expression in this box. In addition, you can use the following tokens:
-
. The original parameter value. Lets you create offsets of the original value, rather than a new value entirely.
-
. The cycle ID number. If you have cycled an action clip in the animation mixer, the original clip has a cid of 0, the first
cycle has a cid of 1, and so on. This lets you continuously increment or decrement a value based on the cycle, for example,
so that car moves forward with every wheel rotation.
-
. The current local time of the clip's source, in seconds. If you cycle or bounce the clip, the values in the first cycle
are repeated in the second, and so on.
-
. The current local frame of the clip's source. Again, if you cycle or bounce the clip, the values are repeated. Note that
this is always an integer, even if the clip has been scaled and offset.
-
. The current global time of the scene.
-
. The current global frame of the scene.
-
. The current mix weight value of the clip.
