We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi, that still works for me with a constant source. Try setting a constant source. If that works then it must be that 

step((t-1[s])/(-1)[s])

is evaluating to zero for the time you are running. Try creating an expression for it such as

tracerOn = step((t-1[s])/(-1)[s])

and plotting it in the expression editor. Also, please note that your tracer run will only start at t=0 if you turn off the option to continue the history when restarting
