if/else in an array
I have 2 slider values “h” and “a” and a range of values in an array “i”.
I would like to check if the slider values are included in the array.What am I missing here?
Stay safe,
Craigh = thisComp.layer("CONTROLLER").effect("Home")("Slider");
a = thisComp.layer("CONTROLLER").effect("Away")("Slider");
i = [1, 6, 11, 12, 16, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 32];if ( h == i ) {
100
}
else if ( a == i ) {
100
}
else 0; -

Hi Craig.
If you have AE 2019+, you can use the includes() function:h = thisComp.layer("CONTROLLER").effect("Home")("Slider");
a = thisComp.layer("CONTROLLER").effect("Away")("Slider");
i = [1, 6, 11, 12, 16, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 32];
i.includes(h) || i.includes(a) ? 100 : 0Older AE don’t have includes() defined so you have to make a similar function:
function arrayIncludes(arr,el){
for(var i=0; iAndrei

Andrei to the rescue again!
Thanks Andrei, it worked perfectly. Although the first expression did not work in AE 2020, but the second expression worked like a charm!Thanks again!

It’s strange that it did not work in AE 2020. Maybe you had your project expressions engine set to Legacy ExtendScript.
You can check that by going in File>Project Preferences>Expressions and set Engine to Legacy ExtendScript.I’m telling you this because in case you want to use any of the features introduced after AE 2018, you need to have the engine set to JavaScript.

My project settings was set to “Legacy ExtendScript”. But the new version still does not work, even after I have set the project to “JavaScript”.
But the first expression still works perfectly 🙂
