Asymmetrical animation

Can i have two or more datetimenow nodes in one graph and set it to move different objects?
(One faster)

You can use the same DateTime.Now node to drive two objects at different rates.

That is if the first object wants to go four times the speed of the second you would multiply the total number of seconds by two to double the speed of the first object, and divide the total number of seconds by two to half the speed of the second object (2x / 0.5x = 4).

If you need them to both stop at a certain distance, ask if the value is greater than Y, and if so return Y.

Or if you want to get the objects to move along a path, you can modulo the total seconds by the total number of frames and use that to get the coordinate system at parameter along a nurbs curve with uneven distribution of the parameters.
