Set wiggle value to drive text layer?
Hi there, I’m building a fake user interface. I have 2 circular rings that I’m revealing with Radial Wipe – see attached image (each ring is separate and would have its own value).
I have a Wiggle expression on the Transition Completion, and I was hoping to use that value to drive a text layer – to type out the current percentage of the ring that’s visible. Is there a way to do this with an expression?
Just a note that the Transition Completion is the opposite of the number that I want to display (eg: if the value is at 80, then the number I want to display is 20, so I guess that’d be 100-[value]). Thanks very much!

I think you’ve nearly got it. I’d start with something like this:
100 – thisComp.layer(“Circle 1”).effect(“Radial Wipe”)(“Transition Completion”)

Nice! Thanks again Dan. I’ll give that a shot. Didn’t realize you could reference layers like that. I assume I’d plug that into the Source Text for the text layer. Cheers!

OK, just tried it and that works perfectly. Thanks again!

Oh, and I added a Math.round so it didn’t return ridiculously long numbers:
100 – Math.round(thisComp.layer(“circleL2”).effect(“Radial Wipe”)(“Transition Completion”))
