Adding Sliders to Scale

February 6, 2021 at 5:12 pm

I think this does what you want:

x = effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
y = effect("Slider Control 2")("Slider");
[x,y]

Ohh. It works!!! Thank you very much. I’m just wondering how to read the expressions?

The first one that I did was:

x = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);

[x,value[1]]

I get the first line, but the second one, not really. What is x,value[1] for?

and in your expression, you only put [x,y].
I’m just wondering why is that? I want to be able to write expressions too. Hahaha.

The expression works, now I just need to figure out how to keep the animation since it doesn’t animate anymore when I add expressions.

Thank you again!

For any expression, value refers to the pre-expression, or keyframed value of the property. If the property has multiple dimensions, like scale or position, value is an array. So for scale, value[0] refers to the x value and value[1] refers to the y value. If you wanted the sliders to modify your keyframed value, you could do something like this:
```
x = effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
y = effect("Slider Control 2")("Slider");
[value[0]*x/100,value[1]*y/100]
```
