Record Time Point Enters Group? July 5, 2017, 9:47 p.m.

I think I have this figured by following this thread: http://forums.odforce.net/topic/20231-using-the-shift-sop-to-shift-chop-curves/ [forums.odforce.net]

It seems a little convoluted but it works. If anyone has any better solutions I'd love to hear.

Record Time Point Enters Group? July 5, 2017, 9:10 a.m.

Hey all,

I've been trying for hours to figure this one out & was hoping to get some input from your good selves.

I have a large number of points that enter a group at different times. I'm trying to use a Point Wrangle to create a parameter that records the frame that the point enters the group. My code looks something like this:

if (@group_release == 1)
{
@time_enter_release = @Frame;
@group_release = 0;
};

Unfortunately this doesn't hold the frame time that the point entered the group, it sets the parameter as the current frame for the entire timeline. Make sense?

I've attached a very simplified version of my scene below.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
