Paul - Tell Nutcracker you have 8 folds and see how that works for you.
The word folds is confusing people.
folds to me was how many times it was folded.
folds=2, string is folded twice
folds=3, string is folded 3 times.
You can never have folds=0
After the last mini, i was asked to change the prompt from
folds?to be
How many strands will you have in your string?Here i took 1 string of 72 pixels and entered 9 for the folds parameter. your string folded 9 times gives 8 pixels each.
here is what that 1 string looks like
array_to_save
username f
user_target AA3
effect_class butterfly
effect_name FLY_0_0
window_degrees 360
frame_delay 100
sparkles 0
seq_duration 5
formula 1
radian_shift .05
start_color #FFFFFF

OBJECT_NAME butterfly
here was a meteor on that same 1 string mini
and a 3 spiral tree
Also, "I have another target that is one string of 10 nodes with no folds." does not make much sense to animate. It would be one strand.You really want to get at least 8 strands better would be 16 to have the animations look good.
