Hi list,
I am digging at this time into the topic of array-per-array operations without while\repeat nodes and trying to avoid building a custom node for each op that I perform, so I have found one handy tip how to perform some of these op - we can only use Generate Sample set ( witout any geo on input ) in any place with exact count of required element to select data from first ( or second ) array and do something with it, thus we can get a set-context without generating a real geometry ( and as I understood we also involve multithreading this way ). I hope this can help someone.
regards,
Oleg

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow! This looks super useful, and I've been wanting to do this kind of thing many times before. Particularly the Find in Array has made me use Repeat loops way too often.
Thank you for discovering and sharing!

"i have the gut feeling this is something amazing, but i dont
understand a damn thing..." lol, me too.
But I think this is a way to use "find in array" node to find arrays
inside arrays. If so this is very useful indeed. Thanks for sharing
Oleg!
one thing I noticed when recostructing the tree: when you reach at the
"find in array", be sure to first plug duplicates_array -> Array port,
THEN select in array -> Value, or else you may get context mismatch.

Just want to re-visit this thread to thank Oleg and reiterate how this is all kinds of crazy awesome.
Thanks!

I missed out on this, and wish I hadn't. It's very nifty.
Would be cool if Stephen could get permission to dump it in his ICE articles, xsisupport is one of the most recurring sites when searching for anything ICE and array, and he has some rather useful repeat-dodging articles already over there.--
Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship it and let them flee like the dogs they are!
