There are several loop plugins (Hoopsnake, Anemone), but all of them only seem to be offered for Rhino 5. Is any of these plugins working in Rhino 6? Or are there any other alternatives?
As for what I am trying to achieve:
I am working on a bridge, which is based on a curved arch. There are stairs between the bridge and the groundfloor. The location of the stairs is chosen relative to a point on the arch. Since the point on the arch is dependent on the length of the stairs, which depends on the heigth of the bridge, which in turn depends on the point relative to the arch, a recursive data stream occurs for the number of stair threads.
Hi - most of those should be but you’d have to ask every individual developer to be sure.
Or, just try it and spread the word on this forum if it doesn’t work.

Sorry, but I have one more question: is it possible to store the value a point (the stair’s midpoint) till grasshopper has evaluated the length of the stair to then overwrite the point’s location if it were to change? I would like to set the stair location first to then optimise the script in galapagos.
Sure, an anemone loop will do this. Your point becomes an input to the loop start, then inside the loop you calculate whatever, then this is connected to the loop end component.
