i need some help with xpresso (how to make something like an array)

Post by AltoFlash »

Hi! i'm trying to animate a scene in which i want objects to appear one after the other, so i'm using a visibility tag for each object, and i thought i could use xpresso instead of manually animating each object, my guess was some kind of array, but i can't find the way to do it. i tried googling but i had no luck.

Dear Alto, I think is good bypass the visibility tag by using mograph cloner. If you need a objects array and you need to make objects appears "on / off" if you animate the "count" of a cloner all objects appears one after one so you will get a better results :)

thanks for the reply, but i'm not cloning an object, it's several different objects.

Besides, i want to know how to do this for future projects too

You can do it with cloned too. If you put inside the cloner 10 objects and the cloner has 10 count cloning you got 10 different object created by Mograph :)

Yes! :) if you put inside the cloner “10 different objects” and you make 10 clones you will get 10 different objects only.
So you can animate the cloner :)
