You can set a stacking method in a queue. If you want to adjust a location for each object by on Entry event, you set for example do nothing in in stacking option. Now you can set locations as you like.
An automatic analysis does not exist of shape edges, because you can still manipulate size of an object and shape later.

Hi Mr Vogel


By setting do nothing in stacking option. I can set the location for first flow item which entered queue. What is about setting location for second ~ 9th flow item? Flow items will not be removed until the queue got full


Thanks and best regards

@Jonathan_Huang,

here an example. There are other structures to achieve a similar outcome.

On Entry trigger

int contentInQueue = current.subnodes.length;
Array posPerItem = [[0,0,0],[1,0,0],[2,0,0],[0,1,0],[1,1,0],[2,1,0],[0,2,0],[1,2,0],[2,2,0]]; // [[x,y,z],..]
item.location = posPerItem[contentInQueue].as(Vec3);
