Hey all, I am using the 2D Grid Macro to spawn a grid of vertical cylinders Blueprints, where each of them has another 2D Macro to spawn another Blueprint of a light-cube, the result looks like this: [image] [image] This is my BP to spawn the cylinders: [image] and within each cylinder ther…

Something along these lines [image] [lights]

Hola :slight_smile: They’re blueprints, right? Why not each BP to calculate it’s distance from the center, just using the distance vector node?

Sounds perfect actually, how would one use that in this case? My timeline is 1 second, so I will need to calculate the distance and turn that into a relative position from 0-1 where 0 is the closest to the center, 1 is the furthest?

Is it a central timeline, or does each have it’s own? What’s supposed to happen? At 0 only the center ones lit, and at 1 only the outer ones?

Each BP has its own timeline. So the position of that cube’s timeline should be from 0-1, 0=the closest cubes to the center, 1= the furthest Then I suppose I’ll get this effect of the cubes turn on/off in chase mode, outwards Thanks as always :slight_smile:

Amazing! thank you so much, I just adapted it to the Set Playback Position method, so they all run at the same time, Here is the result: [image] Thank you so much :slight_smile: much easier this way !

Hang on, not quite right… Yes, that’s what I meant, playback position :slight_smile: [image]

perfect, I just added the clamp node cause I needed the result to be 0-1, as my timeline is 1 second. You are always to the rescue :slight_smile: thank you

Of course, you’re right. It was just a general concept :smiley:
