The default keys for toggling the axes are X, Y and (you guessed it) Z.

It didn’t work without that top line from the old expression. (Dan probably assumed I knew that.)
delay = 1; //number of frames to delay
groupSize = 13;
leaderIndex = Math.floor((index – 1)/groupSize)*groupSize + 1;
d = delay*thisComp.frameDuration*(index – leaderIndex);
p = thisComp.layer(leaderIndex).position.valueAtTime(time – d);

Yeah, I tried both of those. Keyframing layer 14 leaves layer 15 still following layer 1. Splitting the two halves into separate comps would be fine if it wasn’t for having to work with that setup 90 times. Ick, this is an awful project.

September 18, 2006 at 5:20 pm in reply to: Follow the Leader Expression–Only on one axisHey Mylenium, that was me (govinda) using an old account out of desperation.
That line of code gives me an error when I replace my second line with it. ‘Expression result must be of dimension 2, not 1. Error occurred at line 0.’
Is there more to this?
