A directional wiggle
I am trying to wiggle a layer but I only want the wiggle to move the layer on a diagonal (if it were a map I’d only want it to move from the SW to NW diagonal). I believe that would tranlate to only +Y and +X wiggles or -Y and -X wiggles. What I never want it to do is go in a -Y/+X direction or a +Y/-X direction. So this slash: “/” is the diagonal I’d like it to move along. Do I use the Math.abs function for this?

I wouldn’t because it could cause unwanted stuttering and flipping in your animation. The easiest way is to add a value to the wiggle (which would be the average point around which everything wiggles). Animate your layer and then ad the wiggle afterwards:
my_wiggle=wiggle(3,5);
X=position[0]+wiggle[0];
Y=position[1]+wiggle[1];[X,Y]
You can also further limit the values using clamp() or using conditional statments in combination with keyframe methods, something, I believe, you will find the code for in a posting not so long ago by someone else.

I think you’re looking for something like thsi:
w = wiggle(5,25) – value;
value + [w[0],-w[0]]Dan
