Link shape to another one linked to a text
Hi, I surely do it wrong but I’m editing a text message like in social networks.
I want it automatic so I already linked a text box (red shape) to my text layer but I want add a triangle to it (white shape).
The idea is to lock the triangle to the bottom of the rectangle, but if I update my text the triangle is shifting.
(Please pardon my poor English level)

I think you can add this expression to the position of your rectangle:
s = content("Rectangle 1").content("Rectangle Path 1").size;
[s[0]/2,-s[1]/2]
You can take the first variable by pick-whiping the size property of the rectangle. Mind that this is not the layer position, but the one of the rectangle. Now if you make your rectangle bigger/smaller, the bottom left position will be the same.

<div>Thanks for your reply.</div><div>
I tried the expression but it didn’t work. But I solved it !
I have 3 layers, 1 for the text, 1 for the rectangle and a last one for the triangle.
Both size et position of the rectangle (path not layer) are linked to the text.
What I did is type this in the position of the triangle (path not layer) and it worked !
p=thisComp.layer(“My Text Layer”).sourceRectAtTime();
w=p.width;
h=p.height;
l=p.left;
t=p.top;
[l,h+t]
