how to extract an array of values from a Spread node?

[kberraho]

This is what I have so far:
A spread node, under it a Simple sphere.
What I have changed in the input property of the Spread node are the following:
Position X: 1.3
Position Y: -0.5
Rotation X: -13
Rotation Z: 6
Spread Max: 20
Spread Count: 20

what I am trying to do is somehow extract some sort of array of values from its output Property. plug it in to a float array, and finally drive a line chart value property by the resulting float array.

The step i am having problem with is the extraction of an array of value from the Spread node to the float array.
Hope this helps. any insight would be much appreciated. Thank you

Cool idea! Can't do it, though... the spreader generates instanced geometry, not the actual positional values. What are you trying to achieve?

Hello Eric,

what I would like to achieve is, a line chart that is driven by the position of each one of these instances. it seems like that is impossible from what you mentioned.

I just wanted to use the spreader as it gives a nice and organic deformation to a chain of geometries.
