|| operator not working
Even though the expression below is not broken and is partially working (the x part of it works as expected) the y part is completely ignored regardless of the condition being met.
Can anyone help me understand why the effect doesn’t increase its value when y is less than 810?
Thanks.
x=thisComp.layer("NULL CONTROL").effect("XrotSpd")("Slider");
y=thisComp.layer("NULL CONTROL").effect("YrotSpd")("Slider");if
(x<1237
||
y<810)
{linear(x,0,1237,0,100);
}
else
0

I think it works as I would expect. The only time the y clause will even be checked is when x is greater than (or equal to) 1237. And with x that large, the result of linear() will be pegged at 100.

Thanks Dan.
Any way to have y checked so the effect goes off at y values?

How exactly do you want it to work? (It’s not obvious from your expression.)

A cube flies in rotating with each panel separated.
Throughout the comp it will rotate three times over x, but the first rotation happens over y. I added an rgb split separation that only happens when the cube is rotating, so I linked it to the speed of the rotations (variables x and y).
The expected result was to have the value of the rgb split to increase linearly only when the speed was below x’s and y’s peak, but it only worked when x peaked, it disregarded y (for the reason you explained above).

I guess maybe like this (not tested):
x=thisComp.layer("NULL CONTROL").effect("XrotSpd")("Slider");
y=thisComp.layer("NULL CONTROL").effect("YrotSpd")("Slider");if ( x< 1237){
linear(x,0,1237,0,100);
}else if (y < 810){
linear(y,0,810,0,100);
}else{
0;
}

Didn’t work.
Thanks anyway man. -
It might be that you haven’t defined all the states. What should happen if both x and y are less than their limits? Just x? Just y? Neither?
