Using external variable to change position in onFrame

[Michael Sartore]

Hi,

I'm using sliders in an external ui, (dat.gui.js)

To try to change the variables in my paper.js project.

Instead of animating the variable, I'd like it to continually update it.

Ie: circle.position.x = posX;

Where posX comes from my ui slider.

Is there a different way? To "set" it each time?

I have requestAnimationFrame running, any basic animation works fine.

Just hung up on this.

Thanks

Hi,

Found the issue.

Had needed to declare the dat.gui vars as global.

Well I spoke too soon I guess.

function onFrame(event){ 

pivotPoint.x = datPivX;

Circle.rotate(3,pivotPoint);

}

Has perfect interactivity.

However,

function onFrame(event){ 

circle.position.x = datPosX;

}

Doesn't work. Circle disappears.

Even

 circle.position.x = 0;

Same.

Any thoughts as to what could be causing this?

Thanks!

re: this for future searches...
i am finding that the issue was that i had been setting my circle.pivot erroneously and that had rendered my circle.position x,y fields NaN.
