Hello,

What Im trying to do is this:

I have a custom parameter that changes its value when the object is rotated differently from the starting frame,

cond( at_frame( Fs, this.kine.local.rotx ) != at_frame( Fc, this.kine.local.rotx ), 1, 0 )

The wierd thing is that when I copy and paste my custom parameter, with the expression to another animated object, the parameter wont update. It is like its still looking at the object where it came from. Its only after ive gone in to the expression and manualy changed it frome “this” to “cone1” it updates the value corresponding to the objects animation.

What am I doing wrong here? Is there a better way to go about this kind of thing?
In the end i want to use this parameter to drive the visibility, or color, of the objects for a kind of ID/Matte pass.

Regards
Martin
