Delay expression
Hi, does anybody know how to add a delay expression to a null object, which is parented to another null object?
I have Null 01 which is animated. Just position parameter is changing.
Null 02 is parented to Null 01 so it moves with it. I need Null 02 to move the same way as it moves now, but with the small delay…
And… one more thing. This delay should happen in y axis only!
Any comment will be appreciated!
Thanks a lot! -

Null 2 should not be parented to Null 1. Leave it independent.
Alt-click the position stopwatch and enter something like the following:
[thisComp.layer("Null 1").transform.position[0],thisComp.layer("Null 1").transform.position.valueAtTime(time-.5)[1]]Translation to English:
Position expects an array of two values, an X and a Y (or three values, X, Y and Z for 3D), so we give it two values in this format: [x,y]
The first value is the X coordinate of Null 1; the second value is the Y coordinate of Null 1, but evaluated half a second ago via valueAtTime(time-.5).
