Oh please! I need to change result values, 82-100 to be 0-400, simple math isn’t enough
Ah I am dying, I’ve been looking all day and my eye are about to fall out. Any help and I would really appreciate it.
I want to make it when I scale up a precomp it’s linked to a matching drop shadow. Fake 3D basically
So my precomp scales from 82-100 and my drop shadow needs to go from 0-400.
I added transform.scale[0] in the drop shadow size, so now it goes from 82-100. I’ve racked my brain multiply and dividing with -81*100 but nothing works, I need to go form 0 or maybe 1.oh please help, I’m a total noob and at your mercy!
transform.scale[0]-81*100 -

try this:
linear( scale[0], 81, 100, 0, 400 )[edit]
I see dan had responded to your second post… doh!Kevin Camp

Thank you! Yes worked perfectly!
You guys rock!
Also how do you write it if your connecting to another comp? Right now I have:
thisComp.layer(“Brick_Icon”).linear(transform.scale[0],100,83.3,100,0);
I don’t get an error but it also doesnt work :/ This is for the opacity of a type layer to be linked to scale as well

Try it this way:
s = thisComp.layer(“Brick_Icon”).transform.scale[0];
linear(s,82,100,0,400)Dan

Yup, worked perfectly!
Thank you!
If you don’t mind me asking, what is the “s” that made it all work? I tried researching instead of bothering you guys again I can’t find it, I wanna really learn

s is just a variable, a temporary location to store the x scale value.

by signing the value that is in another comp to ‘s’ it makes it easier to update
you could have done it like this:
linear( thisComp.layer("Brick_Icon").transform.scale[0], 82, 100, 0, 400 )
but by defining ‘s’ as the value in another comp, you could more easily change to a value in another comp by changing ‘s’.— note, you could name the variable anything alpha-numerical, as long as it doesn’t start with a number, you could name the variable ‘scale1’ for example.
