2D look-at issues
I tried out the expression here: https://www.motion-graphics-exchange.com/after-effects/2D-Look-at/496a0ee0d51cf
But with no luck. It moved a Little, but didn’t give me what I wanted at all. I don’t really follow the script, so I don’t know how to fix it anyway.
I think I realized one potential problem. My layer is quite large, but the composition is not. So maybe I have to use current world space?
I really have no idea what I’m doing here, so some points in the right direction would help. I’ll just animate this one by hand, but I’d love to learn how to do it next time.

It’s hard to say why it doesn’t work for you without seeing how you have it set up. One possibility–if the target layer has a parent, you’d need to transform its anchor point to world space.

I think if I take some time later and read your IK script then I could probably do it. I think the layers need to share the same space in order for it to point to the right thing. But that’s a more complicated script than I’m use to so for now it’s animated. It’s only about 10 seconds of animation, then I looped it.
I’ll explore it a bit later. This is one of those projects where you just do it and move on. Go back and learn some things you missed later. I’ll need something to read this weekend anyway.
