Rendering timeUse a dummy object as the parent of the sphere, and control
that with the expression. This will still allow you to manipulate the sphere
on top of the null movement.

Just one of the ways to do it...

 Hi

 I am searching for an expression wich does this:

 Objects:
 Null = controler
 sphere

 moving controler in y should move the sphere in y

 But it should be possible to move the sphere after setting the expression.
 controler.kine.local.posy  -->  does not allow to move the sphere later
 sphere.kine.local.posy + controler.kine.local.posy   -->  doesn't work
correct

 maybe someone allready needed an expression like this.
