Linking a mask path to a shape path in different layer
Hello,
I need to connect a mask path to a shape in another layer.
Simply using the pickwhip generates this expression:
thisComp.layer("circle").content("textfeld").content("Path 1").pathHowever, the mask shifts to a different position:
Using a track matte is not an option in this case.
How can I modify the expression so that the position of the mask matches the shape path?

try this
L = thisComp.layer("circle");
M = thisComp.layer("circle").content("textfeld").content("Path 1").path; // or path!
o = [0,0];p = hasParent ? thisLayer.parent:thisLayer;
mP = M.points();
mT = M.inTangents();
mO = M.outTangents();
P = []; T = []; O = [];
for(i = 0; i < mP.length; i++){
mPi = mP[i] + o;
P[i] = p.fromComp(L.toComp(mPi));
T[i] = p.fromComp(L.toComp(mPi + mT[i])) - P[i];
O[i] = p.fromComp(L.toComp(mPi + mO[i])) - P[i];
}
createPath(P,T,O,M.isClosed())Alex Printz
