Hey dude, thanks for the reply!

I was trying to use sourceRectAtTime().left to find the left most edge of the text layer but I can’t tell if its even returning the correct value. I tried sending that value to the source text so that I could see it but the value never changes when I move or otherwise modify the layer.

Am I using sourceRectAtTime().left wrong?

W = (sourceRectAtTime().width /1920)*100; /// the width of the object /// L = (sourceRectAtTime().left /1920)*100; /// distance to left side /// R = (W + L); /// distance to right side ///
AnimateInTime = thisComp.frameDuration * effect("Animate In+Out - frames")("Fade In Duration (frames)"); AnimateOutTime = thisComp.frameDuration * effect("Animate In+Out - frames")("Fade Out Duration (frames)"); AnimateInCompletion = linear(time, inPoint, inPoint+AnimateInTime+0.001, 0, 100); AnimateOutCompletion = linear(time, outPoint-AnimateOutTime-0.001, outPoint, 100, 0); C = (AnimateInCompletion * AnimateOutCompletion) / 100; linear(C, 0, 100, 100, 0);

Awesome! Thanks again Dan!

Dan, you are a god among animators. That worked perfectly.

Many thanks!

Skelotor Mode just brings in a wire frame model and turns off all the assets. I really need to keep this in so the other animators can work with this character rig at a steady pace.

Any condition where “x” == 1 should set opacity to o%

This expression is working better then what I had. Thanks man. I’ll keep tinkering!

Nope! Nevermind, doesn’t work. God damn, sorry for premature replies…

Figured it out. Removed the multiple “else if’s” and moved the position conditional to the bottom. It looks like this…

x = thisComp.layer(“OPTIONS”).effect(“Skelotor Mode”)(“Checkbox”);
b = thisComp.layer(“Body Turn”).transform.xPosition;
f = thisComp.layer(“C_L hand”).effect(“Force in Back L”)(“Checkbox”);
v = value;

if (x == 0) v = 100;
if (f ==1) v = 100;
if (b < -10) v =100;
else v = 0;

Better question: I’ve tried arrays before, but I can’t wrap my head around all the time. Would an array be better for expressions like this one?

Sorry, basically the problem is that the opacity for the layer remains fixed at 100, or if I reverse the values and end with “else if v = 100” it remains fixed at 0.

Also the first if is supposed to be “if (b < -10) v = 100;”

Well I’m feeling kinda stupid. That actually helped alot. I tried using framesToTime in front of my linear expression too. It helped a little. I’m still wondering if there is a more precise method but these are working for me now.

Thanks Dan!

x = comp("99_RENAME_ME").layer("Facial Control").transform.position[0] framesToTime(linear(x,-600,600,15,315))

Wow, I’m feelin pretty stupid right about now…

Thanks though =]
