offset values when using slider? NOOB

[Kevin Camp]

if you want to keep the values relative to the current value, you’ll want to change the expression to add the slider value to the current value (that sounds more complicated than it is):

try this:

xOffset = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
value + [xOffset,0]

to explain the last line a bit, since value for position is an array [x,y], when you want to add a value to it, that value will need to be expressed as an array too.

if your position value is in 3d [x,y,z], then you’ll need to add another dimension to the second array [xOffset,0,0]

What’s the role of the slider? Did you want to add it to the layer’s x position? That would look like this:

s = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
value + [s,0]

In any case, “value” gives you the pre-expression value of the property.
