  Object of type Layer found where a Number, Array, or Property needed

  Hi all!

  I set up a wiggle expression on an object rotation. I want to set up the condition that whenever this object goes back to 0°, a random number gets generated. The expression I wrote is:

   

  R= thisComp.layer(“triangle B”).transform.rotation;
  if(R == 0){
  Math.round(random(3));
  }

   

  When I apply it to the other object, I get this error message: “After Effects warning: Object of type Layer found where a Number, Array, or Property is needed. Expression disabled.”

  But it actually works when I apply it to an empty text layer: the result is displayed properly.

  Any idea where that could come from?
