animated plexus issue

Hello, I have a setup similar to a plexus effect where I have a point cloud that has lines connected to the points by proximity.

The issue here is that after a time the connected points need to animate to a different position and the lines they are connected to start to pop off and on due to the change in the proximity of the points. Is there a way I can lock this down after they are created so that the lines always stay anchored to the points without losing their connection?

 I only have a production file right now so I can submit a hip right away, but if anyone has any ideas that would help alot. Thanks.

 

Best, Christian

Hi,

maybe you could use a Rest position (on which you connect the point), then attribute-copy the position P from the animated points to the connected ones.

 

here is an example. Note that there's no need for the Rest node in this network, since I simply animated the point on a separate branch.
