Hi.
I can´t find a way here. I need to rotate an object (Torus) and then via XPresso have it to drive the position in a AlignToSpline object. This way I can loop an object on that spline.
But. When the Torus goes into its second turn, its degrees exceeds 360°.
I need to have it "start over" again at 0° at every new turn so the AlignToSpline position repeats. (Getting the impression it continues or loop).

The goal is to have a thread (like a tankthread) move.

Regards
Lennart

use a rangemapper node, and set it to modulo, then it will forever loop between the output values.
