Spline Displacement (in development, Node)
This node evaluates the distance to a point on a spline and outputs a displacement to that closest point.

Outputs
Displacement
A displacement vector that can be plugged directly into the Input of the Displacement Node Editor.
Axis Displacement
If the Distance Evaluation is not set to 3D, this will output a displacement vector along the axis that is not used for the evaluation.
For example, if the Distance Evaluation is set to XZ, then the Axis Displacement will return a vector along the Y axis only.
Strength
This is the strength of the displacement, as a value from 0 to 1, and takes the Function input into account as well. It's almost identical to the normalised output in the Spline Proximity (node). This can be used like a weight to, for example, drive the positioning of instances.
Position
The position of the closes point on the spline.
Direction
The direction to the closest point on the spline.
Distance
The distance to the closest point on the spline.
