More than 2 attractors

I'm trying to apply 5 attractors to a scene, but the only method i know for attractors is by the distance between 2 or 1 and a centre point. Why can't i just assign 5 points instead of one? Seems like a reasonable thing to do.. Please help!

thanks

try with the Closest Point Component (Find closest point in a point collection.)

Thanks for the help, Manuel!

All my points are on the same plane, so i am not sure what it will take the distance from? This seems promising but i cannot tell exactly what i am getting as my output (p)

i have circles whose radius starts at each point of a point grid. if i could make each one choose the closest point to i, i'd be done. What i have produced looks like all the circles have chosen one point as the centre point

you don't need the script... you are using a "old" version of grasshopper, and your division value is too low...
