  expression delay

  Posted by Saulera on September 2, 2006 at 12:04 pm

  Hi,
  I need to do a time delay on a layer in AE 3dspace, but only in one parameter {only y}. I do this:

  x=thisComp.layer(“Null 6”).transform.position[0];
  y=thisComp.layer(“Null 6”).transform.position[1]+34;
  z=thisComp.layer(“Null 6”).transform.position[2];
  [x,y,z]

  but, when i put the delay expression it doen`t work, like this:

  x=thisComp.layer(“Null 6”).transform.position[0];
  y=thisComp.layer(“Null 6”).transform.position[1]+34.valueAtTime(t-1);
  z=thisComp.layer(“Null 6”).transform.position[2];
  [x,y,z]

  someone can help me ?
  tks.

  You’ve got things in the wrong order for your y definition. It should be more like this:

  y=thisComp.layer(“Null 6”).transform.position.valueAtTime(t-1)[1]+34;

  Is what you posted the entire expression? If so, you’ll need to define “t” to get it to work (or use “time”).
