Modulo Node not working

Question

Hi, I have been following along this course and began working on the Ferris wheel. In the course upon adding the modulo node and setting the value to 2 all the gondolas appear to be equidistant with one missing. But, in my case when I insert the modulo node and change the value to 2 one gondola is still missing.

Hi Uma uumav ,

Could you show us a screenshot of your (complete) Node setup? And maybe also a shot of the viewport to show what's not working as expected?

I was thinking about what you mean by: "...one gondola is still missing."

And maybe you started with an odd number of gondolas.

Modulo 2, basically separates the odd and even numbers. If you have 5 gondolas, their indices are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. Modulo 2, that gives 0, 2, 4 and 1, 3.

So, if you delete the odd numbers, there will be two gondolas next to each other and if you delete the even numbers, you get a gap between two gondolas:

HI Uma

I can't read your Nodes, but it looks like my guess was right (although I don't know how it gets from 24 to 23....).

There is a gap, but it's not big enough for an extra gondola:

If you could post a link to your .blend (via Dropbox, Googledrive, or so) (if possible packed: File > External Data > (Automatically) Pack Resources), I can give you a better answer.
