  • Duplicate effects to correspond to appropriate slider

    Posted by Brent Pierce on December 17, 2015 at 12:39 am

    I have a series of 3 effects on my layer. The first 2 effects are controls (point and slider). The 3rd effect has a couple expressions the point towards those first 2 controllers.
    If all 3 effects are duplicated, the new expressions still point to the original 2 controls. How would I augment the expressions to correspond to the newly duplicated controls?

    Effects:
    Point 1
    Slider 1
    Effect 1

    After duplications:
    Point 2
    Slider 2
    Effect 2

    It’s going to look something like this:

    txt = thisProperty.propertyGroup(1).name.split(” “);
    effect(“Slider ” + txt[txt.length-1])(“Slider”)

    Great! Thanks so much Dan! I was able to take what you gave me and adjust it for my project.
