Hi All,
I'm using the Get Closest Location on Geometry compound, with 5 geometry
inputs. What would be very useful is to somehow identify which of the 5 is
the closest, 1 - 5 as an integer.
Any thoughts on how to do this?
Thanks
Chris
There aren't really any super optimal ways of doing that.
What you can do is just set an integer for every mesh as a per object
value, giving each a different number and then reading those values out
through the Get Closest Location-node.
It is not exactly the best workflow but it does work.
On
OK That makes sense, but can you just run through how to do that? How do I
set an integer for every mesh? Then how do I read that through the Get
Closest Location node?
Thanks

It's as straightforward as it sounds...
On each mesh make an icetree. Grab a simple Integer node and a SetData and
plug them together. Call your attribute something and use the same name on
all the meshes, for example self.meshID.
Your Get Closest Location node will output a *location* so with a
Oh I see! I was thinking of it all being self contained in the one tree,
but I understand now about making an Ice tree on each. I guess it would be
useful to be able to do it all in one through scripting, but that'll be
beyond my ability. I can get by without doing that.
Thanks both!

Oh and the Color to RGBA and RGBA to Color nodes are just there to strip
the alpha out of the display color, which is 0.

You can definitely have it in the same tree. That actually isn't a problem.

Thanks Leonard! That's very helpful.
The only issue is that you need to know in advance the name of the four
meshes, which are hard wired into this ice tree with the set data node. But
that's fine, I can live with that.
Thanks again!!

You already have theses nodes in your ice tree as they are plugged in the
closest location compound. Maybe you can plug the 'out name' of your
geometry nodes in the 'in name' of your set data nodes ? (1 for each
geometry)
OK I'm sure I just tried exactly that and it gave me a context error. I'll
give it another go.
Thanks a lot

Oh you can totally do that.
See the attached screenshot with the updated setup.
