One Expression to Push 2 objects apart

[Andrei Popa]

Not sure about the whole setup but I think this expressions in the position property could solve your problem:

For the right one:
distance = thisComp.layer("Null 1").effect("Slider Control")("Slider")/2;
value+distance

For the left one:
distance = thisComp.layer("Null 1").effect("Slider Control")("Slider")/2;
value-distance

Thanks for your response! See the screenshot below to reference what is happening. This also happened when I entered the expression exactly as you had it:

I think you should first make the lines vertical and parent them to the NULL. Then rotate the null until they get in the position you want. Then add this to the x position property:

The right one:
var dist = thisComp.layer("Scale Null 2").effect("Slider Line Separator Control")("Slider");
value+dist

The left one:
var dist = thisComp.layer("Scale Null 2").effect("Slider Line Separator Control")("Slider");
value-dist

Andrei Popa, this worked perfectly! Thanks so much! Maybe I’ll post a finished product or something…
