Copy effect values from another layer through Layer Control

[Ahad elshabeb]

Hi

Is it possible to access the values of an effect on another layer through a layer control.

An example would be. Layer 1 and Layer 2 have “Fill” effect.

I want the Fill color of Layer 1 to take the Fill value of Layer 2 ( any layer with Fill effect that is selected through the layer control)

 

This line doesn’t work :

effect(“Layer To Align To”)(“Layer”).effect(“Fill”)(Color)

 

It works with layer properties like

effect(“Layer To Align To”)(“Layer”).position

 

Is it a limitation of Layer control or I typed it wrongly ?

This worked fine for me.

Applied Layer Controller to Layer 1, and set it to Layer 2
Applied Fill Effect to Layer 1
Applied this expression on the Fill Color of Layer 1, effect(“Layer Control”)(“Layer”).effect(“Fill”)(“Color”)

Thanks Chris. True it works fine the way it is.

I discovered a space in my code. After 2 weeks of going crazy I noticed the typo !
