MASH - Random ID inside and outside of a falloff

[José Miguel Aragüés]

Hi there people;

A MASH related question:

I need to put different ID for inside and outside of a falloff node.

The tricky thing is that I have 4 different objects in the network, say 1, 2, 3 and 4.

So, I need objects 1 and 2 randomly placed outside the falloff object and 3 and 4 randomly placed inside the falloff object.

Can that be done?, because I'm strugling my head and can't find a way for it because the ID node can't have an offset in the random mode. I mean, you can put the number 4 for the random and it will take the four objects, but there is no way I can choose only the IDs 3 and 4 and place those randomly.

This is hard to explain but I hope you get my point.

Cheers!.

The Python node is your friend here.

The attached script will do as you want.

Best,

Ian

Hi there Ian,

You saved my day!.

I really hoped there were another way to do this, because I don't know anything about python, and even less regarding python and MASH. Yes, I know I should learn it, but, a- I don't have time for it, and b- I don't know about simple resources for idiots like me to learn.

Thanks again!.
