Parenting a Puppet Pin
I have built a character rig that is just comprised of parented Solids. The character’s tail is parented to the body and the tip of the tail is parented to the tail. I am planing on making the solids invisible and adding an expretion to puppet pins on a different visible tail layer so that the pins will fallow the parented solids.
is there a way to do this?
i am getting stuck because the parented objects location doesn’t “change”
Is there a way to tell the pin the location in the comp of the solid?
Thanks

yep: you need two “layer space transform”:
one to transform the position of the anchorpoint to a position in the comp,
a second one to transform that position to a position on the Puppetedlayer:Puppet Pin 1 – position would get:
l=thisComp.layer("solid 1");
compPos = l.toComp(l.anchorPoint);
layerPos = fromComp(compPos);

Ok I typed in:
1=thisComp.layer(“TailPoint 1”);
compPos = 1.toComp(1.anchorPoint);
layerPos = fromComp(compPos);Under Tail – Puppet Pin 2

The first character should be a lowercase L, not a 1 (one), same thing in the other lines.
