  ValueAtTime Scale and Index

  Posted by Nawaz Alamgir on August 1, 2020 at 4:14 pm

  I have this code
  x=thisComp.layer(index+1).transform.scale[0] + thisComp.layer("CONTROL").effect("Gap")("Slider");
y=thisComp.layer(index+1).transform.scale[1] + thisComp.layer("CONTROL").effect("Gap")("Slider");
[x,y]

  which looks at the layer below and increases the scale by the value defined by a slider

  but i would like to also add this code and combine the two so they work together.
  delay = 5;
d = delay*thisComp.frameDuration*(index + 1);
a= thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 1").transform.scale.valueAtTime(time - d)[0];
[a,a]

  basically so i can create a ripple effect. How can i do this?

  Thanks!

  If I understand correctly:

  
gap = thisComp.layer("CONTROL").effect("Gap")("Slider").value;
delay = 5;
d = delay*thisComp.frameDuration*(index + 1);
a= thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 1").transform.scale.valueAtTime(time - d);

  a + [gap, gap] * (index + 1);
