  Just a simple counting up..

  Posted by Marlie Heuvel on February 24, 2017 at 9:52 am

  Hi there creative people,

  I have some troubles with a simple counting up expression.
  I have a ‘ 0 ‘ as text layer and I want it to count it up to 21. I do what I always do. Put a slider on it and parent the source text with the slider.
  So far so good. But when I want to change the expression from the source text (because otherwise the numbers will go nuts) it give me an error.
  This is the expression I put on the source text: math.round(effect(“slider Control”)(“Slider”))

  I have the feeling there is a really simple solution for this, but I just cant find it. Someone can help me out here? ^^

  math.round(effect("slider Control")("Slider"))

  i think you just need a capital ‘M’ so it reads like this: Math.round(effect(“slider Control”)(“Slider”))

  I think you also need a capital S unless you changed the default name

  Math.round(effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”))
