quick math expression question Still trying to wrap my head around the syntax required. I have an expression: a == 0.007874 || a == 1 ? a == 1 : a == 0 I'm trying to say IF "a" is .007874 OR if "a" is 1 THEN "a" equals 1 ELSE "a" equals "0" I'm getting proper result for 1, but .007874 is still coming up as false.

Math exp only have one output/result so you don't have to assign a variable :
a==0.007874||a==1?1:0
hmmm...still passing .007874 as 0.
It works for me. Are you sure there is not an error in your syntax ?
BTW double equals are only for a condition, if you want to assign a value to a variable you have to use the simple equal sign.
Is your input signal interpolating between two values, and you're trying to get it to trigger when it hits the in-between value of .007874? I seem to remember seeing a post on that recently; forgive me if I'm mixing it up.
If that's the case, you may need to use tolerance in your calculation. Depending on the way frames render, you may not hit the value .007874 exactly if it's just one of the values on a sweep of values; it may skip from .007872 to .007875. If you start shaking the editor around or something, it may skip from .007870 to .007880. (I'm just using those numbers to illustrate the point.)
it is not sweeping, but toggling between three values, 1, 0.007874, and 0.9975
Hmm-So no ideas on how to make this work? I'm guessing it does need a tolerance adjustment somehow...
Well, I just went ahead and added a simple math in front that would multiply the value by 127 so I would be dealing with non-decimal numbers, and it works fine now.
