Randomized "SpiderWeb" effect

Basically I want to create particles, all of which have 1 STRAND CONNECTED TO EVERY OTHER PARTICLE on the screen to give that "spiderweb" effect for some trippy background effects.

I kind of the get idea up to a certain point. As you can see in my capx, I have no problems with spawning the initial particles and respective strands but I have trouble with the next few ones

I'm thinking something like:

For X particle spawned > particle(loopindex) spawn 1 Joint

repeat particle.count-loopindex times

Now my problem is actually getting these spawned lines to connect with to the right opposing particle.

How do I accomplish this? <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

Yes. Like that.

Here you go...

I reduced the number from 80, because it seemed toooooo much. But you can just put whatever you need there. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

Thanks!

Arr, brunopalermo beat me again!

Edit: Actually brunopalermo , are you aware that in your example thousands of lines are created every second? <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

This one actually has unlimited spawning strands but I put it under "TriggerOnce" and it's good. Thanks!

Even with "Trigger once" it makes too many lines - 10 lines for 3 particles.

Mine makes 3

Yeah. I didn't implement it to check the "going back" lines.

For instance, if you have 3 particles A, B and C, there are 3 lines: AB, AC and BC. In my implementation it will create AB, AC, BA (which is, essentialy AB backwards), BC, CA (again, AC) and CB (again, BC). The idea was just to show you how to go with the lines. You should treat the code to skip already drawn lines...

EDIT: in fact, I think it is even drawing lines towards themselves...

Finally got it to work. Used loopindex("this") for starting point of loopindex("target")

Looks great and according to particle.count it's right. Thanks again.

Hey MPPlantOfficial, you wanted a trippy effect? Have a look <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

I actually used bullet for mine and created barriers to make sure the particles don't exit layout.

I'm seeing 1 or 2 sines in your demo and will be sure to check out the capx. Thanks!
