Introducing Magnet Controller
Do you remember this tutorial?
One thing you may didn’t like about my Parametric Array was the SCRIPT controller. I know how it feels when you have to write some meaningless text to get something works and suddenly you face errors after errors! It happens to me many times when I was in beginning of my journey to become a programmer!
Ok, good news is you don’t have to do scripting anymore. PARA II offers zero-code environment to setups your logics and performs multiple tasks using objects (so called Controllers). Bad news is it’s too easy! So anyone else can do it!
Check out this video and see what you can do with Magnet Controller, don’t forget that you can use this controller inside other controllers and try out your own magnetic stuffs!

Any chance you will include a “Closest point on curve” controller?
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
)
