    I think using the expression on the anchor point is probably the answer. Don’t know why I didn’t think of it. And yes, this is quite urgent, if I won’t have a simple solution by tomorrow I’m gonna have to start animating each leaf seperately. Would you show me how exactly to write the expression? What expression would you use for the delay to take place?

    Any help or comments on the expression I’ve written could help me in future projects, so feel free doing so.

    And thanks again, Ynon

    Hi, thanks for your quick reply.

    All 200 leaves need to fall down. They fall not because of an impact, but slowly fall off the tree like autumn leaves, symbolizing grief and loss. It shouldn’t be that complicated. Each leaf has to fall from its original position on the tree to a certain Y value at the bottom of the trunk. The leaves should fall off sequentially, one after the other, with a gap of a second or two between.

    I’m posting some example screenshots of the composition to make things clearer.

    This is the tree with the leaves at their starting position.

    This is the tree after some leaves have fallen and landed on the ground.

    This is the expression I tried to use. It didn’t work good and every new leaf I copied it to got thrown off from its original starting position.
