    Variable speed on looping animations?

    i got 3 objects looping (the video below is just an example) and i want to vary the speed of the animation.

    the start and end coordinates are the same on all 3 curved vectors.
    offset ticks: 80 on curved vector 1
    offset ticks: 40 on curved vector 2
    offset ticks: 0 on curved vector 3

    iīm sure the offset ticks are the problem, but i donīt know how to fix it. any ideas?

    https://youtu.be/hIqGCWpae64 I made a looping animation with speed control and it works! it needs interpolation to work and a bit of math to the offset ticks its a bit choppy too /: mutetus could find a way probably.


    But nobody came...

    hey danny, thanks for your wish to help but your clip is not helpful at all (sorry) i can't see any toolcards or if the loop is even working properly... i need those 3 objects to be 100% in the correct position without any gaps between.

    https://youtu.be/ot8LzCuazls Here is a clearer version. In the curve data source for speed its 200 to 100.

    All you have to do is change the number in the two input operator's the offset ticks need change while speed is being applied because its offset lol.... also why are these forums so dead /: I remember it being active a while ago.

    no. set the curved datasource (used for duration) to invert second half. if you just want to increase the speed it looks like itīs working, not properly but itīs working. the problem is when you try to slow down the speed after that... watch my clip above, itīs nearly the same result. i want to have a perfect (!) speed control on that i guess the setup i made for this is completely wrong.

    Now that I take a closer look your setup is better than my setup I will remake it and try to find out the problem after school lol.

    Hey how did you make that setup? My game keeps freezing if I try.
