Yes, that's why at the beginning I asked help to suggest me the best way to implement this. Nobody replied so I found this way.

In fact it is a little tricky even if I'm not sure I would have a bunch of nodes to change. But who knows ...
Anyway thans for the hint. I'm trying to understand what does that means exactly but if in the menwhile you can explain me a little bit in detail it would be nice.
