Dynamic block to change attributes with the distance you path array it

Good day.

 

I was wondering is there a way you can put a count to a dynamic block.

Meaning if I path array it with a distance the value would automatic change by the distance.

As show in the image's 

I found if you insert a field with x-position it changes as you path array it.

So the question is can the attribute do a similar function to that but with a distance ?

 

Thank you in advance.1.PNG2.PNG

That sort of what I am talking about but your version is to constrained to the X co ordinate.

Attached is the path array I want to array to and the KP automatic change to the path array value say count 50 between each item.

 

Is that possible to create a smart block like that 😕

Thanks in advance

First I would like to see a block that could make array along that path.

About attribute - I don't know solution in standard way. May be lisp?

The Block is just a block not a dynamic block . So with basic modify tools you can use path array to array to that path.

I was wondering if you could add a field to the attribute similar as a position field.

But instead of telling the position it reads the distance of the in between array.

 

for example I have an attribute in a block reading 0.000 I copy or offset it by 50 from the original block(using normal modify tools) Can the attribute have a field that makes it read the offset/copy distance. 

If it can then I in my mind I think path array should do a similar action.


Seems it is not possible.

Thank you for the help tho
