So I have a few questions regarding dynamic blocks. I have set up these blocks so they have an array function on them. So they can array in columns and rows. I am wondering if there's a way to have the rows stager in a traditional pyramid? Like can you take row 2 and add in half of the width of the block of free space and decrease it by one block? Or does anyone know anything similar to this?
Highly doubtful, because your asking it to offset and add rectangles at the same time.
Lisp might do it, but since you originally posted in the LT forums I assume you don't have full AutoCAD so that wouldn't work anyway.

First I made six visibility states, one for each row.
Then I added a linear stretch and put a point on the defpoints layer and used the stretch to move that point. I only put the point on there so the arrow on the stretch would be visible.
I made the stretch incremental at 0.5 spacing with a minimum of 0.5 and a max of 3 (the rectangle I've drawn is 1x0.5)
Examine the double lookup it links the distance with which visibility state will be shown.

I have used ARRAY command and then adjust the INCLUDED AXIS ANGLE to 45 degress in properties.
If I am going to stagger vertical like nailing patterns, then ROTATE array block 45 degrees as well as INCLUDED AXIS ANGLE.
