• Adobe After Effects Expressions

  Variable or value expected, but found = expression disabled

  Posted by Jayson Tin on July 24, 2008 at 5:08 pm

  Hi. I’m trying to create an effect where at a certain point in time, my displacement map starts to wiggle itself. So I made this expression on the ‘Max Horizontal Displacement’

  if(thisComp.layer(“Slider”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”))=1){wiggle(5,20)
  }else{
  wiggle(0,0)};

  However, I get the warining ‘Variable or value expected, but found = Expression disabled. Error occured
  at line 1.

  What is wrong with the code? Please help!
  Thanks 🙂

  You were very close. This should fix it:

  if(thisComp.layer(“Slider”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”)==1) wiggle(5,20) else wiggle(0,0);

  (Note the “==”)
