populating a surface with changing parametric object

i've created a surface and wants to populate it with an pyramid object that can open on xz or ys axis, with the opening being a function of distance of the mid point of each sell to an atractor i've defined. i'v tried to create vectors in order to use them as guides but i don't really know how to proceed with the function (kinda new to grasshopper)

I believe you are mentioning about the height of the pyramid here, since the length of the pyramid is monitored by U divisions. My definition, being very clear, is designed to serve a particular purpose and it would be inappropriate to discuss about it's missing components by actually changing the definition itself. This encourage me to think that you are far more advisable than I am and it would be a shear offense if I'd post any suggestion in any discussion. Good luck and regards.

Hi Akche:

No not at all, please post your suggestions, i guess this is what the forum is about.

One of the things that makes this forum a good place to learn is the different aproaches someone might have to solve the same problem.
