It’s a very interesting way to do it, especially to integrate it with Xpresso and python, what is my final objective. Thanks Emir!

Thans Adam. I tryed changing the banking, but the clones are alredy deformed by the shear so they are like diamonds and dont align well. What I have done is use Grid Array from Object surface and passed a sheared mesh to it

Thanks Dan, thats what a i was looking for.
It’s a little confusing,in the documentation says tha propertyGroup() return null if it reaches the containing layer. Anyway, it works.

[Miguel De mendoza]

I thought so, thanks Dan.

You can do it via script, but maybe it will be complicated. One aproach you can follow to acomplish something similar is this Dan Ebberts expression.

Try this awesome expression by Dan Ebberts

You can use the split function and get the length of the result. Let’s assume you only have spaces, comas and dots in the text, you can get the count like this:

wordsCount = thisComp.layer("Your text layer").text.sourceText.split(/ ,| | \./).length;

If that master layer is at the bottom of layers you can get his index like this:

var bottomLayerIndex = myComp.layer(myComp.layers.length).index;

If that layer have a concrete name:

var bottomLayerIndex = myComp.layers.byName(yourMasterLayerName).index;

Then you can push it into the array:

layerIndices.push(bottomLayerIndex);

If you are running as a dockable panel, your script may be in Scripts/ScriptUI Panels. This notation “./” represents the current directory. If your “(ImageAssets)” folder is inside Scripts folder, you can access like this “../(ImageAssets)/MyButton.png”, wher “../” represents the parent folder of where the script is.
