Hi,

I was trying to animate a fan slowly starting to speed up.
I understand I could use the Timeline to do this, but wanted to try it with xpresso.
Found a script that works, but thought it could be simplified.

Thanks.

Hi Imran,

If it works, why change it? Simplification might create changes in the function.

Here is a simplified version, as requested:

While the file you provided has no problems with scene refresh (Press the “a” key), it works not flawless either: move the timeline backward, and the motor rotates anyway (It should run as well as back then). The simplified version reacts even on the refreshing (a key)

Since the request was defined as slowly increase the speed, this might work:

It is stable while the time line is changing, both ways.

Alternative
MoGraph Based. (Deform>Object)

Both do not work, with slow down.

All the best

These are perfect examples, thanks so much for your help!

Regards.
