You can test a property of a shape layer.

if(sytleFull.layer(i).property('Contents') !== null){
// sytleFull.layer(i) is a shape layer
}

Hello,

thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 1").content("Shape 1").content("Path 1").path.points().length;

See the doc:

https://ae-expressions.docsforadobe.dev/path-property.html#pathproperty-points-t-time

Use Math.max()

t = value.split(' ');
w = 0;
c = 0;
speedFactor = 0.5;
minDur = 2;
for (i = 0; i < t.length; i++) {
    if (c < time) {
        c += Math.max(t[i].length*speedFactor,minDur);
        w = i;
    }
}
t[w]

Hello,

look at sourceRectAtTime()

OK, sorry I tried with a numeric string such as:

“1 22 333 4444 55555”

For a string, use:

t = value.split(' ');
w = 0;
c = 0;
for (i = 0; i < t.length; i++) {
    if (c < time) {
        c += t[i].length;
        w = i;
    }
}
t[w]

Hello, try this:

style.setFont(thisComp.layer("Layer 2").text.sourceText.style.font)

Hello, your triangles are probably not perfect.

You can use expressions to draw a triangle.

you will be sure that they will be perfect.

Based on word length.

t = value.split(' ');
w = 0;
c = 0;
for (i = 0; i < t.length; i++) {
    if (c < time) {
        c += t[i].length;
        w = i;
    }
}
linear(time, time, c, t[w],t[w])

Hello, look at this.

Layer 1 > Scale property > Expression:

temp = thisComp.layer("CONTROLS").effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
[temp, temp]

Layer 2 > Scale property > Expression:

thisComp.layer("layer 1").transform.scale.valueAtTime(time - 3 * thisComp.frameDuration) * 1.2;

Layer 3 > Scale property > Expression:

thisComp.layer("layer 1").transform.scale.valueAtTime(time - 6 * thisComp.frameDuration) * 1.4;

Hello,

I think you need to add your JSON file into your composition.
