How to avoid timing discrepancies in this network when my Timer pulses?

Beginners

As an exercise, I wanted to recreate this gif from an article I read in TouchDesigner. A challenging bit about it is that the motion of the dots always starts in the center and moves out. This means I can’t use a simple triangle wave to modulate the dot positions. I settled on a solution that uses the cycle pulse from the Time CHOP, but every now and again the timing won’t quite line up and the dot positions glitch a bit. I was able to band-aid over it with some Filter CHOPS but I’m sure there’s a better solution to the timing part of this effect than what I came up with. Any ideas?

Use triggers set up with the exact timing you need. And low attack length to zero

I’m not sure what you mean or where I would put a Trigger chop that would fix this. I tried again using an LFO and a Slope Chop to switch the animation order of the Phaser and that worked well.
