Question seems to be more about controlling the value than using a driver (bit of an XY problem), feel free to rollback if you disagree

| Oct 30, 2015 at 4:09 | comment | added | Mentalist | @PGmath Awesome! Thank you for taking a stab at this. I think the Color Ramp, even while having a limited number of gradient sliders, would still be very useful as a tapering function, since I don't know of any other way to create a falloff curve (although I realize it can be done with math). So yeah, both of those would open up more possibilities. | |
| Oct 29, 2015 at 17:44 | comment | added | PGmath | @Mentalist The disadvantage to making a homemade color ramp is that it would have a set number of color swatches, and you obviously can't make the nice graphical display etc. But if you are just controlling it via a group socket neither of those should matter. The homemade mapping nodes, on the other hand, is extremely useful, even for normal use. I'll work on an answer showing those two, if you can think of any other similar nodes I can try to make them from scratch too. | |
| Oct 29, 2015 at 16:40 | comment | added | Mentalist | @PGmath I'm certainly curious about how you could do that, and it would be useful. A solution that doesn't vary by node type is ideal (drivers?) - but if that can't be worked out, then at least being able to make something like a color ramp is better than nothing. | |

| Oct 29, 2015 at 14:34 | comment | added | PGmath | All the functionality of the mapping node can be reconstructed fairly easily (you definition of easy math may be different from mine) via some math nodes, color ramp is a bit trickier but I believe it is still possible. Would you be open to such solutions? | |
