## Parameter

Transform

### Transform Mode

Parameter ID: `MGSPLINEEFFECTOR_TRANSFORMMODE`

Absolute

Here are several Effector-specific settings: If **Absolute** is selected, the clones will be arranged directly onto the spline, which is exactly what most users want.

The other modes are especially then useful, if both **Start** and **End** are set to 0%. The clones will then move as shown in the image below when the **Offset** setting is varied:

![Image: 040720.jpg](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/Resources/Images/040720.jpg)\
At top: A varied **Offset** setting and **Start** and **End** set to 0%. At bottom: Initial states with **Offset** set to 0%.

Relative to Node

Imagine a copy the spline on each clone (with its first spline segment oriented in the direction of the Z axis), which the clone follows via the **Offset** variation.

Relative to Spline

Varying the **Offset** value will move the clones in unison, relative to the spline, without being placed onto the spline.

### Position

Parameter ID: `MGSPLINEEFFECTOR_POSITION_ACTIVE`

Use this setting to define whether or not the Effector’s position should be varied.

### Rotation

Parameter ID: `MGSPLINEEFFECTOR_ROTATION_ACTIVE`

Use this setting to define whether or not the Effector’s **rotation** should be varied.

### R

Parameter ID: `MGSPLINEEFFECTOR_ROTATION` · Range: [HBP °]

Activating **Rotation** will make the **R.H**, **R.P** and **R.B** settings available, with which each clone can be rotated according to its coordinate system.
