Slider Position snapping with Checkbox control
Hey Gurus,
I’ve got a couple of tasks I’d like to create an expression to for. I have a null object that my text layer is attached to. To control the null’s position I have a slider for both x and y positions. All this works, however, I’d like to limit the slider’s range so that the X and Y values can not be moved past a certain point.
I’ve used the clamp expression for my first attempt and could only get the one of the range values to work. clamp(value,1348.5086,586.7971); for example.
What I’d like to do is use checkbox controls that automatically snap the position null to 4 different coordinates on screen. Does anyone have any suggestions or expressions to research that could pull this off?
Thanks,
Andy

How do you choose the 4 positions? By proximity? You wish to activate/deactivate this behaviour with your checkbox?

The positions are simply the 4 corners of the screen, bearing in mind the title safe area.

Are you trying to snap on center (or anchorpoint) of your item layer or are you trying to snap outer edges, inner edges, etc.?
How are you going to stack checkboxes for more than one position? Does the first, or last, overpower the others?
How are you going to define the limit distances?
This is all do-able, but without more constraints it’s tough to know where to go.

I’d like the center of the anchor point to guide the layer position. I want it to snap to the inner edges. (Factoring title safe regions)

This is what I’m confused about. I really just want it to have a check box for each screen position. If it can’t be done on the Expression Control layer, then how do I set that up?

I’m probably doing this incorrectly, but I was using my x and y slider controls to move the null manually to the screen position. I took the corresponding values and tried to clamp the slider values to not go above or below a certain value.I’m going to attach my project file. I’m working inside the “WorkingComp_Limits” comp.
