Hi Hayden,
Please note that the Cloner Object takes the Child Objects once per frame (!) and generates from there. It produces this for each frame newly. If I try to follow your idea, then you might expect that the Clones already in the scene are finally written and NOT subject to changes after that. Well, that is not how it works. To progress the information and to change the information of only new Clones requires to be stored somewhere, but the child objects that have that information are at this point overwritten. So all Clones will have the same information at that point. And new if the information changes, all have this new information in the next frame, etc.
You need to explore this in Python and produce “from the scratch” a new object/connector combination each time, with the set up of the Connector as well. Which will fill the Object Manager, and with that, you have the place to store the information.
A little example—to see what happens: Make the Cloner Object editable, and explore what information was stored in each Connector.
One way could be to produce the max. amount of combinations clones, and fill then the information into those. While using the progress of, e.g., the Frame-Node to enable visibility and function of that current amount of combinations.
All the best

One favor I have to ask. Questions that build up on, but not longer directly related to the scope or frame of a tutorial should be posted in the Q&A forum, to keep things organized. It is not wanted to posted other than in the suggested way in the Tutorial Question Forum. Thanks!
