At this point in the Keynote, Jonathan does a quick demo (a bit hard to see): https://youtu.be/d_PKAJJhRoM?t=23m44s
So in the sample, the default is:
return t / dur
So you’re creating a function that charts the course of an element using these variables:
-
t
The absolute time in the timeline (floating point number) -
start
is the time of the initial keyframe (floating point number) -
dur
the total duration of the animation as a floating point number.
To get the current time of the animation regardless of its start point in your timelines, you can use (t - start)
I realized that you can create a randomness emitter over a animation path to plot random positions using Math.random(t)
