pull effect index into layer ID string
Hi all – I am trying to link a bunch of separate lens flare effects (on an adjustment layer) to the 3D position of a bunch of null objects called “Camera Point 1”, “Camera Point 2”, etc. with several dozen points. I have the code to do the link, but it requires manually changing the layer indentity and I am wondering if there is a quick and easy way to pull the index of an effect into that string that identifies the layer. In my head it would read something like this:
layer = thisComp.layer(“Camera Point >>effect index number<<"); layer.toComp([0,0,0]) The code I'm currently using is below. I imagine there's a quick way to do this - I just haven't been able to find it. Thanks for your help! Steve
layer = thisComp.layer("Camera Point 1");
layer.toComp([0,0,0]) -

Try this:
layer = thisComp.layer(“Camera Point ” + thisProperty.propertyGroup(1).propertyIndex);
layer.toComp([0,0,0])Dan
