'fading out' physics engine

[samvoltek]

Hello,

Wonder if anyone can help me... I'm working on this template for sending MIDI CC values, and using mass-spring to create an LFO.

MultiLFO4.jzlib

Multiball Midi CC LFO

I am struggling with the multiball physics.

What I am trying to achieve is this: When the 'Physic' button is switched off, rather than the multiball immediately jumping to a static value, I want it to slowly come to a stop, before switching to interpolate mode.

As I have it now, it comes to a stop, and then jumps to another value. I have no idea where it gets this value from either, doesn't seem to be related to Physics on or off messages.

Any tips would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks
Sam

Ah.. seems the value it jumps to is Multiball.x at the time Multiball.z goes to 0.

Think its solved now, added a 'bangvalue' expression to happen before the Multiball physics switches off, and this in the OnFrame timer script:

Code: Select all

delay = (time - starttime)<=2;
bangvalue = (time - starttime)<=1.8;

if ((bangvalue==0)&&(stage==2)) MultiLFO.x[0] = MultiLFO.x[0];

if ((delay==0)&&(stage==2)) 
{stage = 0;
FRICTION.x = 1;
physic = 1;
setattribute(MultiLFO, 'physic', physic);}
else return;

Will fix a few other things and upload to the user library soon i guess.
the end goal is to make this a multi channel LFO with cross modulation..but quite a way to go with that..
