Attractors, can I get their effects to add up?

Hello,

I would like to use multiple attractors, each of DIFFERENT force affecting the same geometry. I would like their effects to add up to each other.

e.g. circles of a grid should get bigger when two attractors are in range and not choose the closest point and limit to its effect. Also, I would like the effects of the individual attractors to be different in terms of strenght.

The definition I am using at the moment for multiple attractors is attached here.

I would need a little help with it please.

Thank you

The trick is to graft either the geometry or the attractor list. Then you get separate lists of strengths for each item. These then have to be added together to get the final strength. Mass Addition is useful for this.

Or, if you want completely different attractor behaviour for each one, then do this:

Thank you for the quick reply,

It worked perfectly!

I'm using the remap component and am defining the domain instead of a graph mapper. I haven't been able to create different strengths of attractions not equal over the custom grid im working with. Any solution would be a huge help.
