Linking effects parameter to Slider

[Dan Ebberts]

I’m not sure if this is what you’re after, but you could use an expression like this for the Beam’s Time parameter:

s = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
numBeams = 8;
myIdx = 1;
range = 100/numBeams;
myStart = (myIdx-1)*range;
myEnd = myStart + range;
linear(s,myStart,myEnd,0,100)

For the second beam, you would change myIdx to 2, etc.

I hope that helps.

here is my expression for “line 27” XY :

currentNull = thisComp.layer("Null "+(thisLayer.name.substr(7,3))) // get Null name
currentNull(index+1).toComp([0,0,0]) // get point from layer above
