DC2 following curved path
-
Attached file is about an example of two DC's in RG plane.
DC1 follows a curved path while DC2 follows a straigth line.

That's very cool Dan. I wish there was a way to get the DC to actually follow the path, so one could change the path and the DC would automatically follow it. I have some ideas for how to accomplish something like this using nodes. But I think I have found that I need to have all nodes be separate pre-made components. They can't be created dynamically because there is no way to get the X,Y coordinates of a dynamic copy at this point. Or maybe there is. I'll post the question and maybe Scott Will answer. At any rate, very cool! I liked the dimensions being updated throughout the animation.

Thanks Chris, I'm just experimenting to make movements less static (=follow different matematical
rules other than straight lines). Along the way I should get more familiar with DC_syntax.
The included dimensions aren't DC-features. Each of the four dimensions work with their own virtual intersection points on the axes. I posted about this weird behaviour (in SU6) way back, see:

Fixing semy associated dimensions (so they will update again) was also in SU6. Probably already in SU5. Here they come in handy to see what (some of) the DC-values are doing.Looking forward to see what you come up with next!
