I’m sure you have it figured out. But here is my method in a scripted controller for Radius2
RING = Ring object
CURVE = splineShape in Scene
RANGE = Cust Atrib on the curve object but could be any value of course.

(
rad2 = 0.0
param = nearestPathParam CURVE 1 RING.pos
paramPos = pathInterp CURVE 1 param
dist = distance RING.pos paramPos
maxVal = 1.0
rad2 = if dist <= RANGE then dist/RANGE else maxVal
return rad2
)
