MCG Marching Ants
This MCG allows you to do marching ants, traffic light/direction effects. Note the Count is total in array but you see only every 'Step'. I think there is a bug with closed loop and Even count, so use odd Count for that....and WTF is up with the 90deg angle/rectangle ? Dunno....I'll debug if have time...
Ver 1.01.00: Added Flip and Rotation Adjustments
Ver 1.01.01: Minor update/cleanup
Ver 2.00.00: Added sine wave to path for 'snaking' FX...also chucked in some vibes...
Any small donations to [email protected] would be greatly appreciated. I intend to then fully donate onto the following:

Thankyou. Meow. Woof. Moooo. Oink. Grrrl.....

Updated to Ver 2.00.00
with 'snaking' FX...
coming feature...
I'm working on making it 'snaking' along the path...it is working but due to the nature of my 'faking' the ants marching movement...I'll have to rethink about my modulo logic...
get the Sample Pack
...a lot of premade compounds are from the Sample Pack.

Won't run.
I can't get it to work. I open it and evaluate it and I get this error in the message log:
Validation failed for C:/Users/user/Autodesk/3ds Max 2016/Max Creation Graph/Tools/Vu_ObjProperties.maxtool : Error occurred deserializing node: Can't find operator ScalarToVector
Thanks.
