only X position time delay from layer above it
I’m trying to delay the position animation of several text layers in a list that are sliding in from the side of the screen. I’ve tried using several expressions I’ve found online but nothing’s working.
This is the closest to what I need, however, I want it to ONLY effect the X position.
thisComp.layer(index-2).transform.position.valueAtTime(time-.1)
I tried modifying it so that it was only the X position, but no such luck. Admittedly, I have no idea what I’m doing really.
I’ve also tried modifying Dan Ebbert’s following expression to only follow the X position, but I ran into the same problem.
delay = 5; //number of frames to delay
d = delay*thisComp.frameDuration*(index – 1);
thisComp.layer(1).position.valueAtTime(time – d)If anyone knows how to mod these expressions so they only effect X or Y (really I just want X, but Y might be handy to have for the future), I’d be eternally grateful! Thanks in advance.
thisComp.layer(index-2).transform.position.valueAtTime(time-.1)//OR//
d = delay*thisComp.frameDuration*(index - 1);
thisComp.layer(1).position.valueAtTime(time - d) -

This should work:
x = thisComp.layer(index-2).transform.position.valueAtTime(time-.1)[0];
[x,value[1]]

You are the god of expressions! Many thanks!!
