I'm on the phone so can't give you full solution, but you could use segment counter and mod operation do determinate is the current number even or odd.
Return
Mod(sxegmencounter,2)+1;

Thx for idea,
Now ill play with it but at first look doesnt work, so probably i am doing sth wrong:)

return mod(SegmentXCounter,2)+1;

[Dragan]

Ah, yes...
The counter is separated for start/end, default, evenly...
So, I guess you should do everything in default pipeline.

For your workflow:
The easiest way should be to go with dividing spline length with segment length (export x size attribute after transform scale) to determinate final number of segments and then use this in mod operation.

ok ill try

[arch3d]

like this?
never use mod before

works ni tile mode not every time in adaptive mode what is obvious

[Dragan]

Yes
Arithmetic expression:
Return
Mod(round(input1),2))+1;


Mod 2 should return either 0 or 1 and +1 is for selector input start hrom 1

[Dragan]

This more or less issues could be solved by rounding/flooring division result

[Dragan]

You could also try evenly workflow. Evenly now has an option for odd, even results

[Dragan]

You could also use division result with some expression to force odd or even and  use it in the count mode for default rule.

Another way using conditional operator multiple by 2 mode...

Could be solved on many ways...

[arch3d]

True, now i see
Thanks!

[Dragan]

Glad to help 😏👍

[arch3d]

I think best is count mode with round modifier

btw i saw your style with wParallax files
I made it before and i can advise you one thing - copy mutimat and apply *.jpg instead of *.exr.
Keep material with .exr on segments and thick use segment material for style.
You will have preview in viewport and exr as render

simple but works

I did that yesterday!!!
Art from wParallax supported me with all bundles few days ago and I have made new style that has embedded planes with 1k, 3k and jpg for preview. Since many users requested option without curtains I need some time to remap everything. Didn't find any sutable script to copy material and remaping.
