Question

Replicate Wiggly Selector on text layers

So, I`m working with text animation. I have managed to make this sort of text rig that look just fine, with some duplicated layers and most of properties parented to the "MAIN TEXT" layer witch I use to animate and update the text.

My goal is to give it a Stop motion look, so I am trying to generate a "wiggly" property to the position in the source layer. But due that is a random expression, if I copy and paste the wiggli expression to the COLOUR and THICKNESS layers, every layer gives me a different position, and the rig breaks...

The "wiggly" look its very important, so I am wondering if there is any way that I could replicate the wiggle in two diferent layers. Or else, if I could use some expression like "noise" but it has to affect every character randomly. That would give me the desire look.

Thankyou!
J.

Maybe I misunderstand, but why not simply apply a wiggle() to the position animator then? Or more specifically use multiple position animators with different wiggle() settings and combine them using add/ subtract/ intersect.

If you set the randome seed in the selector to anything but the default 0 it wil lalready behave the same on every layer.

Thanks, I did try it! 
but it does not behave like a wiggle, it gives me random values every frame right? 
Wish I could make it behave like a wiggle for every character, and also be able to parent the position of the other layers to it.
