sort 3 lines by length and filter one specific to get its center point

[tbone]

Hello,

 

i need some help, i think im just blind.

I have a triangle made from 3 lines and later getting extruded but i need the second shortest/longest line and its center point because the lines are generated with with a random number from a range.

Sort and with get item i can filter it but the value of the line is not getting through there so i cant get the center. Do i need to do some python scripting here and create a completely new node or can i do this with the existing nodes?

What i found so far is only something with list([-1]) and with that i would get the index before the last index in the list as an output and this would be perfect for my case but i dont know how to create or modify such a node.

The easiest way to do this would be to place the line lengths and line objects into a sortable list (which in my example I use a point node to make tuples)

Thanks! Sorry for the late reply. Wasn't thinking that way to do it. Completely different approach than what i got from my professor.
Many ways to do it but first you need to discover them 🙂
