Layer visibility expression no longer working
I have used this expression hundreds of times:
x=thisComp.layer(“name of the layer”).active;
if
(x==1)
{0}
else
{0}
It’s supposed to lower the opacity of the layer it’s being applied to if another layer is active and raise it to 100 if the other layer is turned off. Basically, a layer switcher bypassing a checkbox control.
Today it stopped working, no error or anything it just does nothing.
Any ideas?

It should work if you change the first {0} to {100}.

Hi Dan, somehow I missed your reply. I thought nobody had answered.
Yes, sorry, I posted the expression with a typo. Sorry about that.
This is the expression that used to work and doesn’t anymore:
—-
p=thisComp.layer(“name of the layer”).active;
if
(p==1)
{0}
else
{100};
——-
If I invert the values it doesn’t work either, but it does not return an error.
Thanks.

It works for me as long as I replace your curly quotes with straight quotes.

I think I’d do it this way:
thisComp.layer("name of the layer").active ? 0 : 100
