Create Negative Value.
Hi, well basicly here’s what i have:
I’ve got 2 solids with optical flares applied an i have 2 diff flares on each solid one on the left and one on the right.

Now i’d like to link the position XY of my left or right flare to be the exact negative of my other flare, because when i move the position XY from one flare it will go to one side.
Let’s say if i move the flare #1 to the left the Flare #2 will go to the Right.
I’ve come up with this expresion:
A = thisComp.layer("Optical Flares 2").effect("Optical Flares")("Position XY")
B = value
C = B -A/2;But the problem is it is affecting Y and i only want it to be affected by “X”,
Hence to take the value “x” from Flare #1 and affect the “X” position of flare #2.
Is there any way i could do that?

since the value of position is multidimensional, you need to single out the dimension by using it’s index — x = [0], y = [1], z = [2].
if you want to keep y separate (so it can be different than the other flare’s y) then this could work:
p = thisComp.layer(“Optical Flares 2”).effect(“Optical Flares”)(“Position XY”);
x = value[0] – p[0]/2;

I would think you’d be looking for something like this:
otherFlare = thisComp.layer(“Optical Flares 2”).effect(“Optical Flares”)(“Position XY”);
[width-otherFlare[0],otherFlare[1]]or this:
otherFlare = thisComp.layer(“Optical Flares 2”).effect(“Optical Flares”)(“Position XY”);
