I don't quite understand why some things are overdone on my eyes on this expressions like the frequencybin.

Anyway I was curious too about how to achieve this effect and I modified it to have that wave look I think you were looking for, as it is the steps are too big and it doesn't look that pleasant.

Capx:

Also I find quite annoying that fadeout end when the bar moves just a little big in the end, I would like to make it sharper, I wonder if changing the size instead of moving the whole object makes it better, I wonder too why they made it so it moves the whole thing instead of resizing must be a performance choice. On a second thought it may be my screen not been able to refresh fast enough altho construct is capped at 60fps, because I cant get to screenshot the fade effect.

Edit:

Upon further inspection what I did has too little variation between frequencies, so if you want to make something as selective as in the video you may have that when a low sound happen it blow on one corner and the others go down you need to find the start and end frequency just like the guy on the video said it's different for every song it you want it to look as smooth as in the video, otherwise you can use have been done before, which is just a display of all the frequencies divided between the bars.

dop2000 Thanks for the help again. But I had already achieved this although throught less orthodox meanings but I learned a new trick from yor capx using dt on lerp.

What I wanted to achieve was an arc of degrees the cursor can't surpass

something like this:

I used clamp on my capx to achieve this, I'm trying to add the clamp into the anglelerp expression you did, but I must be doing something wrong because it's not working this time. I tried different combinations, but it always retrieve only 1 of the values so the cursor is always looking in 1 direction.

EDIT:

I got it done but I would appreciate if you checked it and told me if you see something funny going on. I rotated the sprite and compensated the expressions adding degrees manually (that's the only way I could make it work)

I've been trying to make this cursor look like it's getting dragged to the mouse location. But I can't get the small details done properly

The idea is that moving the mouse drags the base of the cursor adjusting the angle and once the cursor arrives to the new location it starts to adjust again to the default orientation.

I got the movement and angle done but I'm having trouble about when to trigger the events for the idle orientation.

Also I would like the angle to be determine by the distance. As it is I delimited a range of degrees for the sprite to rotate, but moving on the same or close "Y" as the sprite will make the sprite to rotate to it's maximum range even if you only moved 1px on "X" so the chunky motion looks bad.

Here's the capx:

Yes, I missed that one I'd been looking at it for so long that while trying to simplify it I overlooked that. But the original problem was with the instance variables.

I've redone the way the items update, so once every single add functions has finished it updates only once instead of once per add function. I think it's also better practice performance wise. I also learnt about the browser log so thanks for not giving up on me xd.

I read about wait on "loops" using loopindex so I'm playing with that now.

What do you mean you don't understand my code is it that bad?

you better not see the original functions then xd

I'll have to have a look that browser log since you cant use breaks on triggers or loops I've been updating a textbox placed where I think the problem is.

I may try the array flag but it does have to be inside of the array right? it can't be an instance variable because it'll be the same as with the item?

Here's another case I have this debug menu where I can select multiple items and set an amount once the amount is set calls a function with a loop.

which calls the "add" function every time one of the counters variable is more than 0. This add function calls the update function as in the previous example, and it does the same conditions, so in this case is there anyway other than the array flag to delay the trigger of the next condition in the loop? I read people use every X seconds but since this is a trigger function I cant use that, right?.

Maybe I should just use more local variables and arrays. If they update instantly instead of having to deal with this delays.
