Hello wonderful list!

Do any of you know of the existense of an attribute (or hidden attribute) that holds a counter for clones generated with the clone particle node?

The use of it would be to be able to offset each of the clones along a vector, so they are not placed on top of each other.

Thanks for any help!

I think you can get the "parent" point's position and then use those coordinates to offset the clone

Hi Gareth, that is what I am doing, and for 1 clone that is alright. But I want to have many clones and dont want to resort to randomize like the spawn compounds do.

So I would need a PER CLONE offset... at least that was my initial thought...
