Hello,
I would like to get the delta of a changing value, e.g. negative speed if value is decreasing, positive speed if increasing, so i can then reference this speed/delta value to control another, e.g. morph.
I was also curious, is there a plugin or script that allows curve re-mapping of a value, so e.g. 0 maps to 0, 0.5 maps to 1, 1 maps to 0, perhaps a way to set/sample animation timeline with discrete time?
 
Yeah, LogicBricks 2 has a remap thing https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/logicbricks2.44283/

But delta computation I don't think I ever saw one, it's generally very contextual, on my end I'm doing that in the code when I need it.
Remapper in logicBricks 2 looks like a direct in/out to in/out mapping, whereas I wanted to do knot based curve remap, I musing acidbubbles timeline and controlling the scrubber, its not ideal since a seperate timeline needs to be made for each mapping/value.

Regarding delta, thats what I was thinking, couldnt really find anything.
Regarding the context, do you mean because time/polling can be different depending on script/atom?
Trying to learn how to use acidbubbles scripter as it seems its the only feasible approach for me at the moment, I dont really know what Im doing though

I'm not sure what is a knot based curve remap haha.

No haha, just because delta is a value that you need in very specific contexts huhu. ie: speed changes to control a lightsaber swoosh or anything like that. Said differently: it's quite advanced enough to not be needed by the majority of creators, hence why it probably never made as a standalone solution.
