rivet Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I am looking for a simple elegant calc that when the max number is hit it, calc 1 'Long' method: if ( current# + 1 = 4 ; 1 ; current#+1) simple enough I know, but I am guessing there is a cleaner mathematical answer.

eos Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Check out Mod () – you'd use it to calculate an overshoot (i.e. the relative position) within a cyclic movement, so you could massage the max number to get the desired result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbante Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 What you have is fine, actually. Since you're calculation loops between 1 and 3, but the Mod function will reset you back to 0, that wont necessarily be any simpler: Min ( Mod ( $currentNumber + 1 ; 4 ) ; 1 ) ... unless your application can be modified to use the numbers from 0-2 instead of 1-3, in which case you could use Mod ( $currentNumber + 1 ; 3 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have adjusted the object names. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
