Chain of objects

[Chrille]

I'm trying to create a chain of objects that are tied to each other . Here's what I do:

Ten of these objects are created, each given a unique value for loops, 0 to 9. Each object is supposed to be tied to the object just above it in "rank".

Here's how I've tried to do it (and failed):

I've given this object a qualifier, and the code looks like this:
* on loop "chain"
+ object alt. value a = LoopIndex("chain")
+ object alt. value a <> 9
+ qualifier-object alt. value a = object alt. value a +1

= set object position to qualifier-object position

But this loop doesn't seem to execute at all because of the last condition. What am I doing wrong?

The problem is that the qualifier is just a convenient group, it can't be selected individually. MMF just sees "object alt. value a = object alt. value a +1"

The solution is to use a "proxy" object. Loop through objects 0-8. Set the position of the proxy object to the position of the object with that ID. (Seperate line) Set position of object with the next ID (ID+1) to the position of the proxy.

Clever!

Thanks for your help!
