p =3D thisComp.la= yer("controller").transform.position;

= length(p,p.valueAtTime(0))

Hey all,

I have a basic exp= ression issue that I've seen here before but can't remember or find= it.

I have the position of a null that I want to drive the rotation of ano= ther layer. but it makes the starting rotation at 1x+206 instead of zero

This seems to work:

thisComp.layer("controller").t= ransform.position[0]

but it makes the starting= rotation at 1x+206 instead of zero

Would I need to subtract this number in the expression= ?

= Thanks
