VaM 1.x value mapping help, plugin to get value change delta or remap value with curve

[tjpbrn]

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.

sorry by knots I mean the little keyframes you use to build a curve, to allow you to make for example a bell curve using 3 knots, they are like keyframes with handles in a timeline animation curve.

Ah I was thinking of speed like its something you can broadly extract from any float variable you point it at like a basic logic feature that can then be referenced. I found that the new froost fluids plugin has a speed measurement parameter which is a signed float

Hoooo! Right!
That's the sort of thing I'm doing in VAMMoan for instance, where I have a custom curve handling the breathing animation ( it remaps the in/out to specific curves depending on the intensity ). I get what you mean! But yeah, quite complex to do that through a UI in VAM ^^

Let's say you have your speed value from somewhere. Scripter could be a plugin to help you with that. Since you can do pretty much any basic maths computations in it.
