  Wiggling a “to world” position…

  Posted by Erin Shelby on November 1, 2007 at 5:46 pm

  I am using a world position coordinate of another layer:

  L = thisComp.layer(“positionlayer”)
  G = L.toWorld(L.anchorPoint);

  but I figure I wanted to add a little wiggle to this layer that was using the ‘positionlayer’s position. So….

  L = thisComp.layer(“positionlayer”)
  G = L.toWorld(L.anchorPoint);
  wiggle(12,10);

  But what I found is that the wiggle layer does not follow (and slightly wiggle) along with the positionlayer anymore. Do I have to write a more complex expression – or is this just some syntax I’m getting wrong here…?

  This should do it:

  L = thisComp.layer(“positionlayer”)
  G = L.toWorld(L.anchorPoint);
  G + wiggle(12,10) – value;
