Connecting instances with lines

ConnectNodes.capx

I have a bunch of nodes on a layout, and I would like to connect each with a line to all the other nodes

But for the moment they all converge to a single node for some reason

Having hard times figuring out the right "picking" setup I guess...

Any tips appreciated

Thx

This was a challenge!

Thanks, works great!

Now I have a new challenge if you like ;)

You may have seen that the nodes had a drag and drop behavior

Ideally I would like the lines to follow while dragging any nodes if doable

Okay I figured out how to add it to your code

Just wanted to make sure everything was redrawn only while dragging, otherwise the framerate was going nuts

Also I added a minimal distance check and a right-click to add nodes ^^

ConnectNodesDrag.capx

I'm leaving the challenge open though if someone manage to do all this with less events!

I was testing random stuff

So here is a happy rainbow kinda thingie!

Actually the rainbow is animated and flows to the right nicely

This uses the Tiled Sprite plugin —

I'm not sure I'll use this for my project because the fps are dropping fast with many nodes, but it could be super handy to create all kind of moving things, escalators, hydraulic pipes, tank tracks, conveyor belts...
