Is it possible to use the current value of an expression
Hi!
Is it possible to get the current value that the expression has produced so far and refer to it with expressions?
For example I would like to create an if/else statement that would tell x-position to increase only until it’s value is 100 and stop after that. How would I tell AE to use the x-position value that the expression is producing?

Whether using expression or not, position[0] always tells you the x position.

Based on your example, you’re not asking for the current value, but the previous value, in the sense of the value that this same expression generated at a different time, so you can make a cumulative effect.
My understanding is that AE doesn’t like to derive a property from itself on the basis that it could lead to circular reasoning.
Here’s a similar problem where someone created a While loop to sum all the values from the start to the current time:
