Start and stop parenting at specific time
I have an ellipse (Moon) orbiting another ellipse (Sun) and I want the moon to stop parenting at either a specific time or at a layer marker.
I found the below expression, but struggling to make it work.Is there another time based one, or a layer marker based one? Help??
Thanks,
pickuptime = 1.15;
dropofftime = 2;
layertofollow = thisComp.layer("hook_angle.ai");
ticker = Math.min(Math.max(pickuptime, time), dropofftime);
thisComp.layer("hook_angle.ai").transform.position.value_at_time(ticker)

It’s hard to tell exactly, but you might be looking for something like this:
pickuptime = 1.15;
dropofftime = 2;
layertofollow = thisComp.layer("hook_angle.ai");
if (time < pickuptime)
value
else if (time < dropofftime)
value + layertofollow.position - layertofollow.position.valueAtTime(pickuptime)
else
value + layertofollow.position.valueAtTime(dropofftime) - layertofollow.position.valueAtTime(pickuptime)
