I am getting the Error: couldnt turn result into numeric value

[arthurl72624442]

This is my code:

var nullLayerNames = ["Shape Layer 13: Path 1 [1.1.0]","Shape Layer 13: Path 1 [1.1.1]","Shape Layer 13: Path 1 [1.1.2]","Shape Layer 13: Path 1 [1.1.3]","Shape Layer 13: Path 1 [1.1.4]","Shape Layer 13: Path 1 [1.1.5]","Shape Layer 13: Path 1 [1.1.6]","Shape Layer 13: Path 1 [1.1.7]","Shape Layer 13: Path 1 [1.1.8]","Shape Layer 13: Path 1 [1.1.9]"];

    }}

		pointsChecked.push(substactPoint);
		pointsChecked.push(origPoints[i]);
	} 

	

	
}
createPath(pointsChecked,[],[], false);

After taking away some of the code I found the error code doesn't seem to respond to a particular line but I have isolated to have something to do with this code:

const pathTanForward1 = origOutTang[i];// out tangent of first point (from left)
    const angleForward1=radiansToDegrees(Math.atan2(pathTanForward1[i+1],pathTanForward1[i])); // angle of tangent of first point

    const pathTanForward2 = origInTang[i+1];  // in tangent of second point 
    const angleForward2=radiansToDegrees(Math.atan2(pathTanForward2[i+1],pathTanForward2[i])); // angle of tangent of second point

I looked up the error message and found this thread::https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/error-couldn-t-turn-result-into-numeric-val....

Here they get the same issue and it was the misspelling of the PI function, I dont think I've misspelt anything else I am mistaken.

If anyone can help will be much appreciated, thanks.

I attached the project file in case anyone is interested.

On a quick glance I would assume you're missing some value when building your final array. Your "pointsChecked" function would build anchor points in the wrong order or with multiple tangent values because you're not keeping your iterator straight. Anyway, hard to check without being in front of AE and your code is rather unelegant and hard to read to begin with. I'd probably completely rewrite it, beginning with getting rid of those long, redundant definitions for the input points and creating consistent variables for the values. You're kind of re-declaring them on every line, which is unnecessary and may cause inadvertent errors.
