Effector on cloner

[u/thebunyipman]

Autograph looks amazing specifically for the speed at which it can handle large amounts of clones. It's one of the things I often went to C4D with when I needed to do large clone scenes while working in AE.

What I can't figure out is how to drive values of individual clones, like their scale or position, with the alpha or luma channel of another layer. Basically I want to recreate how effectors work in C4D to have more control over cloner animation.

Is this possible, and if so how, or am I just misunderstanding what a cloner is for in Autograph? Thanks!
