This version should be 5.5 friendly (didn’t try it though):

minDelay = 3;  // minimum delay (frames)
maxDelay = 15; // maximum delay (franes)
maxX = 5; // max x offset (pixels)
maxY = 15 // max y offset (pixels)

end = 0;
j = 0;
while ( time >= end){
 j ++;
 seed_random(j,true);
 end += random(minDelay,maxDelay)*this_comp.frame_duration;
}
value + random([-maxX,-maxY],[maxX,maxY]);

Something like this might do it:

minDelay = 3;  // minimum delay (frames)
maxDelay = 15; // maximum delay (franes)
maxX = 5; // max x offset (pixels)
maxY = 15 // max y offset (pixels)

end = 0;
j = 0;
while ( time >= end){
 j ++;
 seedRandom(j,true);
 end += random(minDelay,maxDelay)*thisComp.frameDuration;
}
value + random([-maxX,-maxY],[maxX,maxY]);

Try changing the second line to:

[temp,value[1]]

Actually, that was a combintion of scripting and expressions. The script starts with an unscrambled puzzle and randomly scrambles it one move at a time, keeping track of the order of moves it used. It then creates a Position expressionsfor each piece, with the proper move sequence to unscramble the puzzle.

Sure, but you’d have to rerun the script any time you made a change to the controler. You’d keyframe the point control to the values you wanted and then run the script to set the position of the mask vertex to the same values.

You’re correct – expressions can’t access mask vertices. You can do it with a script though.
