  Can I use the mask mode in an expression?

  Posted by David Cabestany on December 13, 2023 at 1:06 am

  Can I access the mask mode (none, add, subtract, etc) with an expression so depending on which one is selected another property?
  I have an very basic expression but I have no idea what to write after the word mask, I don’t know the name of the property:

  l=thisComp.layer("bg").mask("Mask 1").mask.____________

  if
  	(l==0)
  {100}
  else
  	0

  Thanks in advance.

  I don’t think you can get to it from an expression.

  Figured as much, it was worth asking someone more knowledgeable.

  Thanks Dan.
