Title: gravity effect
Post by: ducebigalow on December 02, 2019, 01:56:11 PM
Hi all,
I understand there is no gravity effect in xlights (maybe something for future versions hint hint, wink wink), so does anyone have a suggestion on how to do an effect like this for now.  I would like to have vertical line go up to a certain point, then fall back down.  the trick is to have the line slowing down as it reaches a certain point, before it falls back down.

Easiest way to do what you want is to use the shape effect, specify the dimensions, and instead of a static velocity and direction, hit the curved green arrow next to that box which brings up value curves.  Now either find a value curve(s) that does what you want, or create a custom one(s).

Thanks, I will look at that.
