Combine Range mapper with If Else statement

[Jason Hearne]

I’m using the following expression to keep the 1st and 4th keyframe the same but modify the 2nd and 3rd with a slider.

Lpos = thisComp.layer("FX - Landing POS").effect("Comp Control")("TuneIn 2")//slider;

if (time < key(2).time)
y = ease(time,key(1).time,key(2).time,key(1).value[1],Lpos)
else if (time < key(3).time)
y = Lpos
else
y = ease(time,key(3).time,key(4).time,Lpos,key(4).value[1]);
[value[0],y]


Currently my slider reads 0 for full On and 100 for full Off

I’m having trouble combining a Range mapper so my slider will produce the opposite. Any ideas?

Jason, any chance your ‘slider’ is non-slider type? Or is it a pseudo effect?

Lpos = thisComp.layer("FX - Landing POS").effect("Comp Control")("TuneIn 2")//slider;

this means:
Layer Name: ‘FX – Landing POS’
Effect Name in layer: ‘Comp Control’
“Slider name” : ‘TuneIn 2’

Thus, does it have numeric value? Because below, works as expected, so just to make sure.
Lpos = thisComp.layer("FX - Landing POS").effect("Comp Control")("Slider")
