Wiggle and layer order
Could someone help me out please ???
I have applied the following expression to the position on about 12 layers.
x=wiggle (.8,250) [0];
y=wiggle (.6. 205) [1];
{x,y]It works a treat, randomly moving the layers about..
HOWEVER… whenever I change the layer order.. the animation completley changes..
is this expression controlled by layer order ??
It’s not the end of the world.. just a little bit irritating..
anyone know of a fix ???
regards

If you like a particular wiggle, you can just add a seedRandom() call with the current layer number minus 1. For example, if you like the layer’s wiggle as layer 1, use this:
seedRandom(0);
x=wiggle (.8,250) [0];
y=wiggle (.6, 205) [1];

Hi Dan,
OK.. I added your expression and AE didn’t like it at all, I put in the layer number randomseed (7);
but it didn’t like it, then tried pickwhipping the whole layer, but still no.
I tried a it with just random, which the expression was happy.. it’s just didn’t do anything.. when I moved the layer, they still changed position.
any ideas ??
thanks for your continued help

So if you copy and paste the expression from my post into a postion expression it generates an error? What’s the error message.
By the way, I don’t know if this is the problem or not, but it’s seedRandom(), not seedrandom().

I still don’t really understand how it works..
but thanks anyway
