Adding random positioning values
Hi all,
I’m new to expressions and have multiple layers which I’d like to randomly position
I’ve tried this expression:
seedRandom(index
,true);
x = random(0,2000);
y = random(0,1500);
z = random(0,1500);
[x,value[1],z]… but it doesn’t seem to do anything except move a layer to a position within the canvas and keep it there. I’d just like these layers to ‘pop’ from one position within the canvas to another
Any help’s greatly appreciated!

If you remove the seedRandom(index,true) line, you’ll get a new position each frame.

Thanks Dan!
And what if I wanted the position to hold for 3 or 4 frames…? And then move to a different position…

Then you have to put seedRandom() back in, but do something like this:
holdFrames = 4;
seed = Math.floor(timeToFrames(time)/holdFrames);
seedRandom(seed,true);
random([0,0,0],[2000,1500,1500]);Dan
