temp inside an expression
Hello,
im folowing this tutorial from Mark Coleran(bought).
Its easty to follow and all :), but when just at the end there go’s something wrong.The tut is based like this:
20 tutorial are parent with NULL01, who is parent on a MASTERNULL01.
I have 1 CONTROLLER, with 2 control sliders, 1 is for Time, the other for amount:T = thisComp.layer(“control(solid)”).effect(“wigg_01_time”)(“Slider”);
A = thisComp.layer(“control(solid)”).effect(“wigg_01_amount”)(“Slider”)
wiggle(T,A)So far so good…
Now the NULL01 Rotation i pickwicked it to the R expression see above.
But the expression gives me:temp = thisComp.layer(“Master Null”).transform.orientation[0];
[temp, temp, temp]So i am confused because its not the same in the book : (
IM a looser in expressions. Im trying realy hard 🙂So why does it sais Temp(probebly meaning tempary?), what does it mean?
Can you help me with this?
Iff so GREAT!Thanks
T.
Peace

Did you try the AE Expressions COW forum?

Iff so GREAT!”First off I will tell you that yes ‘temp’ means temporary, and this is the default variable name that AE will assign whenever you pickwhip something.
So here’s some explanation of what’s going on in this expression:
temp = thisComp.layer(“Master Null”).transform.orientation[0];
[temp, temp, temp]You’re setting a variable (‘temp’) equal to the FIRST ENTRY of the orientation ARRAY (a sequence of values, the first of which is X orientation, 2nd is Y, 3rd is Z) of the layer “Master Null.” To translate: if the orientation of “Master Null” is 230
