@Jonesy this may be late and not sure if I know exactly what it needs but maybe something like this in a point wrangle ` int ptn = i@ptnum;
int s = chi(“stairs”); int f = chi(“floor”);
int l = s+f;
int spts = s*2; int lpts = spts+f;
int x = max(ptn%lpts-spts+1,0)+min(floor(ptn%lpts*.5),s-1); int y = min(floor(float(ptn%lpts+1)*.5),s);
int inc = floor(float(ptn)/lpts); int linc = l*inc; int hinc = s*inc;
v@P = set(x+linc, y+hinc, 0); `

gahh took a while

but starsteps with landings

the conceptual idea is to take a larger stairstep of (x+y) steps in size, plus add to it a clamped sawtooth that has x steps of the clamped part and y steps of the unclamped part

scaling it all properly took a while 😃

@flight404 you can interact with ramp keys just like a multiparm block. The ramp parameter itself has the value of how many keys there are

“`c int rampkeys = chramp(“ramp”);
for( int i=i; i<=rampkeys; i++){ float pos = ch(sprintf("ramp%gpos", i)); float val = ch(sprintf("ramp%gvalue", i)); // Do stuff }```

(I normally don’t condone 1-based loop indices but the keys do start at 1 and not 0. I supposed you could switch to doing `i+1` in the `sprintf` calls though if you wanted)
