Marionette "Duplicate Along Path"

[Heblon]

Hello,

afaik there is no node (or similar) for the "Duplicate Along Path" command?

 

Any Idea how replicate the operation?...

Thought about:
1. splitting my path (polyline) into lines- remove the other objects (no idea how to deal with other objects then lines)
2. get their distance, orientation/angle
3. duplicate, move/align & rote my desired duplicates

kind of complicated ;D?

Cheers!

I like this one, and I really should get a standard node in for it.

Here's a 2023 file that should get you headed in the right direction. Let me know if you need an earlier version.

Works pretty nice. played around with the resolution and skipping a few list items to control the number of placed duplicates while keeping the divided elements high for a better resolution.

To get more into the aimed direction/ my use-case:
Any Idea how to split the polyline into its segments? (creating a network with getting vertex points, the type (for each) via a boolean and recreating each segment one by one seems a bit too time-consuming for me right now (neither is my skillet at a level to do this smart and fast)
