Hi,

It's not the ideal solution, but you can drag your wave profile along the the x axis to delay the effect.

Subject: Wave op offset


Hum, this thing is starting to give me a headache. I'm trying to deform a
mesh with some wave ops. The problem is that I want them to start at
different frames. So if I create a wave object I put the Periodicity in time
which gives me a nice ring that start at the center of the wave and spreads
out which is all nice. But what if I want it to start at a later frame? In
the Wave Op there is a time start offset but although that makes the wave
appear at the right frame, the wave is already spread out at the same
position that it would have had if it started at the first frame. The only
way I found to make it work is by translating the wave amplitude profile
keys but I don't see the relation between the numbers on the graph and the
frame number. Now I don't want to move them by hand until I find the right
position because I want to apply them by script and I can't find out how to
make them start at the desired frame using scripting. Can anyone help me
figure this thing out?

Thanks.
