Example
Making a String Array in JavaScript.
- Create a Text Shape.
- With the Text Shape selected, click the Duplicator icon in the Shelf.
- Create a JavaScript Utility.
- Copy and paste the below into the expression window.
var animation = [
"2d",
"3d",
"Cel"
];
animation[ctx.index]
- Connect
javaScript.id > text.string
The first three Text Shapes in the Duplicator will read 2d, 3d and Cel.
In order to loop each index within the array, edit the last line to read animation[ctx.index % animation.length]
It's possible to add line breaks by adding \n to a string. e.g. 2d\nrules will output:
2d
