After Effects expression selectors for springy text

I'M BACK!!! I'm rusty, so go easy on me. learn to create a procedural automatic springy text, it's pretty cool and you'll learn a bit how the expression selectors work for text animations in After Effects.

Here is the main expression. (it won't let me put a greater than or less than sign in the description, so you will need to replace that part. it's in the first if statement.

vel = effect("Layer Control")("Layer").transform.position.velocityAtTime(time);

x = Math.abs(vel[0])/10000;

if (vel[0] ---is less than--- 0){
nullPos = effect("Layer Control")("Layer").transform.position.valueAtTime(time-((textIndex-1)/24)*x);
}
else{
nullPos = effect("Layer Control")("Layer").transform.position.valueAtTime(time-((textTotal-(textIndex-1))/24)*x);
}

[nullPos[0]*(100/thisComp.width),nullPos[1]*(100/thisComp.height)]
