How do I use the null object?

[NusryNizam]

I couldn't quite get how the null object can be used. Can anyone shed light with some use cases?

I'm also new with Friction and there is no much documentation yet, but, you can search for "Enve tutorials" and find many. Friction is an evolution of Enve you most things are similar and may work in Friction 😉

enve tutorials are currently your only option. Note that the raster paint stuff has been removed and ORA support (compared to enve).

Thanks @pgilfernandez @rodlie

Noted. I'll look up for some enve tutorials
I dabbled in making some basic tutorials for Friction. I hope to make some advanced ones after I learn and experiment more with it.

You can reference null objects from other objects, like this:

You can reference the null object using expressions or various path effects.

Thanks guys. Didn't know how to link the null object to other objects. Now I know. So many options are hidden 😅
(I just found out the expression editor was already there in the stable version)

About expressions editor: you can also find some Enve tutorials touching it and in this recent discussion you can find some expressions we are starting to use https://github.com/orgs/friction2d/discussions/242

Thanks. I'm actively following the discussions here.
