  Compine two text change scrips – setFont and toLowerCase

  Posted by Zander Grinfeld on November 7, 2024 at 2:29 pm

  I am using an expression to give control of a font with a slider, But I want to add similar control over whether the text (a single letter on it’s own layer) is uppercase or lowwercase. I’m failing at the first hurdle. When I add a toLowerCase (before trying to connect a slider) it just overrides the font changer. It’s pretty basic chaining expressions I reckon, but could do with a hand! Thanks

  var fontArray=[

  “Impact”,

  “AbrilFatface-Regular”,

  “KufiStandardGK”,

  ];

  v=Math.round(effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”));

  text.sourceText.style.setFont(fontArray[v]);

  — above this line works until I add below this line ————-

  text.sourceText.toLowerCase();

  Try it this way:

  var fontArray=[
  "Impact",
  "AbrilFatface-Regular",
  "KufiStandardGK",
  ];
  txt = text.sourceText.toLowerCase();
  v=Math.round(effect("Slider Control")("Slider"));
  text.sourceText.style.setFont(fontArray[v]).setText(txt)
