Miscellaneous functions and expressions
The following are miscellaneous expressions:
| BUFFER | Description |
|---|
| Returns | The old value when current value is off. |
| Syntax1 | buffer(vector,number) Vector is a vector. Number is a Boolean number, and can be switched on or off. |
| Syntax2 | buffer(number1,number2) Number1 is a real number.Number2 is a Boolean number, and can be switched on or off. |
| DAMPING | Description |
|---|
| Purpose | Applies damping to a numerical value. |
| Syntax | damping(number) |
| DAMP (Clock based) | Description |
|---|
| Purpose | Similar to Damping, except this expression is based on the MotionBuilder clock instead of the refresh rate. This relation is recommended over the Damp relation, as that makes your scene identical on every computer. |
| Syntax | damp3dclockbased |
| DAMP (3D) (Clock based) | Description |
|---|
| Purpose | Similar to Damp (clock-based), except this expression is based on the Damp (3D) relation. |
| Syntax | damp3dclockbased |
| DAMPING (3D) | Description |
|---|
| Purpose | Damps the position of a vector using a specified damping factor. |
| Syntax | damping3d |
| PRECISION VECTOR | Description |
|---|
| Purpose | Use this constraint to apply a precise value to every component of the vector: X, Y, and Z can each have different precision values. |
| Syntax | precisionVector |
| Receives | a (Number) and Precision (Number) |
| Sends | Result (Number) |
| PULL VECTOR | Description |
|---|
| Purpose | Continuously pulls the vector from the input parameter and stores the result in the internal buffer, which is then used as the Result value. This value gives you the value of the last evaluation. |
| Syntax | pullVector |
| PULSE | Description |
|---|
| Purpose | Sends an alternating stream of zeroes and ones at the specified frequency, for example: 010101010101. |
| Syntax | pulse |
| TRIGGERED PLUS MINUS COUNTER | Description |
|---|
| Purpose | Creates a trigger to add the increment/decrement. |
| Syntax | triggeredplusminuscounter |
| TRIGGERED RANDOM | Description |
|---|
| Purpose | Generates a random number on demand. |
| Syntax | triggeredrandom |
