Dynamically obtain the Based On selection/value of an Expression Selector

[Dan Ebberts]

I’m not sure if this is what you’re asking, but maybe?

text.animator("Animator 1").selector("Range Selector 1").advanced.basedOn

Thanks Dan but I’m looking for a solution that uses the propertyGroup method – the Expression is applied to the Amount Property.

[Dan Ebberts]

For an Expressions Selector? I guess that would be like this:

thisProperty.propertyGroup(1)(1)

[Roland R. kahlenberg]

Awesome! Thanks Dan.

So, for anyone else that wants to get the Based On selection from the Amount Property, for an Expression Selector, it’s
thisProperty.propertyGroup(1)(1).value

For a Range Selector
thisProperty.propertyGroup(1)(2).value

and for a Wiggly Selector (works for both Min/Max Amount Proeprties)
thisProperty.propertyGroup(1)(4).value

Thanks again Dan!

[Dan Ebberts]

This works as well:

thisProperty.propertyGroup(1).basedOn

[Roland R. kahlenberg]

Yup! A universalized code; for all Selector Types.

Thanks for solving this, Dan!
