triggering an animtion with linear wipe
I wonder if there is a way to trigger an action using linear wipe.
I have a grid of hexagons each on its own layer and I want to be able to scale them down/up in the style of linear wipe.
I was thinking there might be a way somehow connecting scale to linear wipe but i couldn’t find anything similar so far. any ideas? -

This might get you headed in the right direction. Add a null named “controls”. Add a Slider Control and keyframe it to go from 0 to 100 over a short period. Then apply this expression to the scale property of your hexagons:
pct = thisComp.layer(“controls”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
p1 = (transform.position[0]-width/2)/thisComp.width;
p2 = (transform.position[0]+width/2)/thisComp.width;
linear(pct/100,p1,p2,[0,0],[100,100])Is that close to what you had in mind?

Dan this is amazing! It is exactly what I was looking for! I wonder if there is a way of adding a little bounce to the scale, and also the possibility of changing the angle of the wipe? That’s why I thought that if it’s possible to get linear wipe effect to control layers scale than you can easily change the direction and the angle of a wipe..
nevertheless this is a great start!
