It is better to actually offset the input instead, with a multiply divide/set range node. Its the same thing (due to commutativity) but its easier. and less cryptic and thus a better alternative.
alternatively use a ramp/remap value node instead.
Does anybody manage to do so ?
The attribute is not connectable, it cans still be set tough but its a problem for batch rendering, referencing etc so you should avoid this. Don't recommend this.
