Hi,
I am looking to create a pattern for 2, 3 and sometimes 4 individual parts. Let's call them part A B C and D. The pattern will have equal spacing between each part and will always follow the same order, ABCDABCDABCD the problem is, I may not always have an even number of instances. I can for example need 10 instances of the parts total so the pattern will be missing two parts from a standard pattern ABCDABCDAB. I am trying to figure out how to write this so I can select a number of instances even or odd and have ilogic figure out what the pattern number for each needs to be.
I could use if statments, but I need the pattern adjustable from 2 to 50 instances, with the ability to select how many individual parts are present, wheter it is AB only, ABC, or ABCD.
Example patterns with 2 parts and 7-10 total instances
ABABABA (7)
ABABABAB (8)
ABABABABA (9)
ABABABABABA (10)
Example patterns with 3 parts and 8-11 total instances
ABCABCAB (8)
ABCABCABC (9)
ABCABCABCA (10)
ABCABCABCAB (11)
Example patterns with 4 parts and 8-13 total instances
ABCDABCD (8)
ABCDABCDA (9)
ABCDABCDAB (10)
ABCDABCDABC (11)
ABCDABCDABCD (12)
ABCDABCDABCDA (13)
Any help would be appriciated.
Below if just a pattern with two individual parts alternating, but like I said I would like to specify the total number of parts and have ilogic determine which pattern will need to have instances added or removed.
