Hey, I've been trying to make my particles flicker in VEX.
I tried to make it transparent every 5 frames.

This is the code I wrote inside the VEX code window of POPcolor's Alpha:


And this is the result:


As you can see, the particles don't flicker. It goes straight to the "else" statement and never enters the "if".

I am quite new to Houdini.

the stratified ages will mean that frameAge%5 will almost never equal 0. Maybe you meant to round it to the nearest frame first?

I suspect what you're looking for is something like this:

Thanks so much! That is correct, I forgot to round the result.

I suspect what you're looking for is something like this:

ramp = fit((@age * 24) % 5, 0, 5, 0, 1);

Thanks that works too.
