Multi-colour/random selection via Array?

How-To
1

Hi all,

I have a challenge I’m struggling with - is it possible to create random variations (for example unique colours) within Array instances? I guess, as they are instances, it isn’t possible.

But maybe there are some workarounds or an approach I’m missing so thought I’d put it out there.

It’s for an interactive installation, using a TUIO array and camera tracking system, and the ideal is for orb lights with unique colours to be generated per person…

Arrays aren’t set up to do this at present - unique colours might be possible going through CSV, as the Arrays can contain RGBA data, but other methods would depend on the node system you are attaching it to. e.g, for cloner, a colour ramp on random based on index might suffice.
