Re: Easier Effectors?

Good point. The calculation should probably be done in the layer space of the layer being rotated to allow for the rotation of layers up the parent chain.

Try this:

L = thisComp.layer("handle");
P = fromWorld(L.toWorld(L.anchorPoint));
V = P - anchorPoint;
if (V[0] > 0){
radiansToDegrees(Math.atan2(V[1],V[0]))
}else{
radiansToDegrees(Math.atan2(V[1],V[0])) + 180
}
