Rendering timeHmm okey this is right but I forgot to mention that the position
between the, as example spheres, should control the expressions.

(sphere1.posy - sphere2.posy) * 0.5 * controler.posy

In this example when changing position of sphere 1 will change also the
position of sphere 2 because the distance of the objects is used in the
expression.

What I am trying is:
2 objects, 1 controler
moving controler in positive y will move object 1 and object 2 together.
after changing position of object1 or 2 the controler should work exactly as
before with the new positions (so the objects should move together untill they
are at the same point.

Haven't figure out how to make this. Would be no problem if its not possible in
realtime but with some sort of script wich has to be runned first.

 NullController
 NullParent
 -->Sphere Child

 moving NullController in y will move the NullParent in y

 And it will be possible to move the sphere after setting the expression

   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.
