@PhilRandom – I hope that you were able to resolve your issue.

If you are trying to reverse a process that descends so that it ascends, you may be interested in this recent discussion – and in looking at the examples of bouncing balls.

> Hi there! I need my variable i to go from 3.67 to 3.15 to 3.67 to 3.15 to 3.67 and so on. I’m able to do this just fine from 3.67 to 3.15, however I can’t manage to let it go back to 3.67. This is the code i’m using right now: if (i \> 3.16) { i = i / 1.001 } if(i \> 3.67) { i = i \* 1.001 } I understand why it’s not working, but I dont know how to fix it. confused pls help
