Simple scaling question
-
Hello
I feel like I'm missing some super obvious thing, but I'm stuck here with this simple stack of clones that are being scaled down by a step effector. I want the clones to appear from the smallest to the biggest, but whichever way I try this, I always end up with the order being off.
It would be like smallest clone first - > largest clone last....
Here is my file, sorry if this is super obvious...I feel like the answer is on the tip of my tongue.https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/hhnp4liqhkbcvy9d7l2dk/ScreemGrow.c4d?rlkey=wgfi1wgdj3xco5a3dwyfkicxw&dl=0

I'm far from knowledgeable, but I downloaded your file and messed around with it, and on the Step effector, under Parameter > Transform, I changed Transform Mode to Remap, and the direction of the scale reversed. I'm not sure how/where to tweak the results of the Remap, but maybe that's a place to pick up?

Thanks! It does reverse the order, but not the order of the animation, in other words I'm still not getting a movement from small to large
I'm realizing that I might need to deal with a step effector with "visibility" checked on and a linear field, gonna explore that -
Hi AlexC.,
Thanks for the file.
Set the Cloner> Object> P.Z to negative.
Don't use the Step Effector.
Set the Cloner> Object> S.X and S.Y to 200%(I have animated it for 200 frames; of course, set the animation to anything you need.)
Let me know if that works for you.
Cheers

Palm snap on the forehead! Of course! I knew I was trying to make this too complicated.
Thank you Sassi!!!!!
