Alternate

Use the Alternate tool in ScriptCompiler to convert flat lines into alternating high and low stroke patterns for your funscripts.

Overview

The Alternate tool transforms selected points into an alternating high/low zigzag pattern. This is especially useful for converting marker points (typically placed at 50%) into rhythmic up-down movements.

How It Works

The tool processes your selected points and:

Takes each point in order from left to right
Assigns alternating high or low positions based on your settings
Optionally adds random variation for a more natural feel
Preserves the original timing of each point

Parameters

Parameter	Range	Default	Description
High Position	0 to 100	100	The position value for "high" points
Low Position	0 to 100	0	The position value for "low" points
Start With	High / Low	High	Whether the first point should be high or low
Randomize	On / Off	Off	Add random variation to positions
High Random Range	0 to 50	10	Random variation range for high positions (shown when Randomize is on)
Low Random Range	0 to 50	10	Random variation range for low positions (shown when Randomize is on)

When to Use

Converting Marker Points

When you add points using the A key or by tapping the timeline, they are placed at 50% position. Use Alternate to convert these flat markers into actual stroke movements.

Creating Quick Rhythmic Patterns

Drop a series of points at regular intervals, then apply Alternate to instantly create a rhythmic up-down pattern without manually adjusting each point.

Adding Variation to Flat Sections

If you have a section of your script that feels monotonous or flat, select the points and use Alternate with randomization to add some variation.

Tips

Use Randomization for Natural Feel

Enable randomization with small ranges (5-15) to make the pattern feel less mechanical. This adds subtle variation that mimics natural movement.

Adjust High and Low Positions

You do not always need full 0-100 strokes. Setting high to 80 and low to 20 creates a less intense pattern that might be more appropriate for certain scenes.

Combine with Other Tools

After applying Alternate, you can use Smoothing to add transitions between the peaks, or use Fill Between to add intermediate points for smoother movement.

Preview Before Applying
