Object List and Link List

[Rantin Al]

The Object List is an iterator node. All objects are accessed every frame.

The Link List 'holds' a number of objects. The Index Number input decides which individual object is used.


Adding an Iterator Node to the Link List port will make it act like the Object List.

That's about the simplest explanation I can give you. :)

Thanks for your reply :D
It is still bit confusing when to use which tho...Maybe once I get used to it, I guess I'll have it figured out
Thanks!

You use the iterator if you want to do something with or to all objects in the list.
You use the linklist if you want to access one specific object from the list only
