Shape layer reacts to text size
Hi there!
I’m currently working on some mogrts for my team to use, but I wanted to simplify them.
Currently we control the size of the box through sliders that hide/unhide opacity of each layer, so, when the text gets too big, we just slide it to the desired number of lines/squares.
I came to the conclusion that sourcerect expressions don’t work because each square HAS TO BE 105px per 105px.
Does anyone know how I could automate this so that when the text gets too big, the size of the shape layer would increase by 105px? Thanks in advance!

sourceRectAtTime() is definitely what you need as part of your solution.
I’d look at measuring the Text Layer’s length and then dividing that by 105 pixels to let you know how many squares you require. Id’ be looking at using a formula such as this –
const numberOfSquaresRequired = 1 + Math.floor(theSourceRectAtTimeWidthOfTheTextLayer)

try this, here is a 150 increment box, change gap value as needed
