Get property type?
Hey all, does anyone know a way to pull a property type?
If I’m referencing a property in a sub-group, say, thisComp.layer(L).effect(1)(1) and I don’t know exactly what the property is going to be, is there a way to check what the value of the property is and get an answer?
Arrays are easy (length > 1), but I’m running into determining if something is a boolean or an integer if it’s equal to 0 (e.g., is it an unchecked checkbox, or is it a slider set to zero?)
Does anyone have any ideas?

Not sure if I’m understanding your post, but checked and unchecked boxes must be written as ==1 or ==0
so it would be something like
if (var1==1)
{var2=whatever you want it to do}
else
{var2=the other thing you want it to do}
var2A slider would be useful if you wanted to apply a linear expression to the result of your boolean operation

if I understand you correctly if could be something like this:
if(hisComp.layer(L).effect(1)(1).name == "Checkbox" && hisComp.layer(L).effect(1)(1) == 1)
{
do something because the checkbox is true
}
else if(hisComp.layer(L).effect(1)(1).name == "Slider" && hisComp.layer(L).effect(1)(1).value >= yourvalue)
{
do something because your sliders value is above a certain value
}
