Attractor Line Direction

I realize this question is in regards to quite an old post by U, but I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to adapt the attached definition to have the attractor points have the inverse affect on the surface as well (that is create valleys as well as peaks)

I am rather new to gh so i apologize for what is probably a really dumb question, but i found that i could insert a negative multiplier just before the 'line' component and i would achieve a valley condition. however i am looking to have both conditions simultaneously occurring. so i thought of adding a dispatch so if the z-value of a given point was less than zero it would react one way and if greater than zero the other, however i was unable to make that work.

any thoughts...thanks

DeDackel,

thanks man! this is exactly what i was looking for.

do you know if there is a way to have a curve or at least the points from a curve serve as the attractor? when i added points from a curve and assigned them to one of the inputs, one of the item bars lists that the index is to high.

thanks again DeDackel
