Hi,
tried this in Xpresso math node but not getting far.
I’m positioning several objects at various points along a long spline using an align to spline tag. I’d like to reposition them together (i.e. increase/decrease their position % values) but keep the relevant distances between them. Is there a way to do this - kind of like having a master value I can increase by 2 or whatever and all the individual values increase by 2.
Hope this makes sense. Its kind of like having an audio bus I can adjust several values at once.
While I’m here, wish align to spline had finer increments than 0-100. A long spline means tiny wee adjustments.
Anyway,
thanks for any advice.

Hi SIX,

Please have a look here:

Similar questions, but here are the adjusted files to answer it with MoGraph

However, if you like to do it with XPresso, here is an example:

The Position adjustment is now down with a User Data value, which is added to the Tag itself.
The XPresso Tag has a User Data value as well, which is used to be added to the values.

I have used here a MoSpline to use the Spline’s shape, but to keep things in at a higher precision.

All the best

Dr. Sassi to the rescue once more. thanks very much, will go the Mospline route.
Question though, on the MGss_02 file, I notice the clones are numbered. Haven’t seen that before.
Where is that function generated?
Thanks again!

You’re very welcome, SIX, thanks for the feedback.

The ID numbers are available in the Transform tab of the Cloner object.  The Display pull-down has several options to share information, and Index delivers this little numbers for each clone.

My best wishes for your project
