Spacing between layers
So I have a pretty basic setup, I just have a bunch of layers lined up and have a slider control to control spacing, but what I also want, is an additional slider control to control spacing of every 3rd layer, and I’m not sure how to go about that. Here is the current expression I have on all the layers position.
Thanks,
Brian
xPos = thisComp.layer("expression").effect("location")("Point")[0];
yPos = thisComp.layer("expression").effect("location")("Point")[1];spacing = thisComp.layer("expression").effect("spacing")("Slider");
[(xPos)+((index-1)*spacing), yPos]

Hi Brian
Try this:
layerIndex = (index-1);xPos = thisComp.layer("expression").effect("location")("Point")[0];
yPos = thisComp.layer("expression").effect("location")("Point")[1];spacing = thisComp.layer("expression").effect("spacing")("Slider");
groupSpacing = thisComp.layer("expression").effect("group spacing")("Slider");
groupSize = thisComp.layer("expression").effect("group size")("Slider");layerSpacing = Math.floor(layerIndex/groupSize)*groupSpacing + layerIndex*spacing;
[xPos+layerSpacing, yPos];
I have added a couple more sliders. If you want you can simply set groupSize to 3, but I thought it was fun to have it as a slider.
All the best

Thanks Jakob,
That worked perfectly and much simpler than I thought it would be. Much appreciated.
