Calculation order problem in xpresso

[LucentDreams]

I don't see any ordering of any sort to make this work, not sure how you mean that you ordered the xgroup. First node I see is sfere, but it is second in your xgroup, not the first. link list is first even though its one of the last nodes in the graph.

rearrange your xgroup to read:

sfere
data
iteration
linklist
data
point

that's how you prioritize nodes.

Next your cloner with the sfere is the last thing in your hierarchy while all of your sweeps and splines are earlier in the hierarchy. try putting that earlier in the hierarchy, that is probably the biggest culprit.

Even with all that it may not fix it, because of when the xpresso calculates which is before generators. If it still isn't working try changing the priority of the xpresso tag to generators. (if it is leave it)

If that still doesn't work that is going to be because what your doing is a tough setup for C4D. You want the splines to attach to a generator before they are then used to change a generator (the sweep) that's a sort of loop and thus can have an inherent lag if no baking is used. TRy my sugestions first as they are good practice to learn and might fix it, but if not well then you know why it doesn't and that baking will be your solution to get a smooth playback.

Nope,
doesn't work.
I guess the only alternative i got now is caching.

Thanks for your thorough answer, i forgot to reorder the nodes in the xgroup before posting, thanks for pointing that out.
