LabVIEW
Particle Simulator
LabVIEW programming is based entirely on dataflow and parallelism. This is incredibly powerful and has lead to its success over the years (coupled with the graphical programming), but is usually one of the first things that new developers stumble over. Here's a simple resource to become more familiar with how it works. The Highlight Execution feature is a great way to watch how your application utilizes dataflow.
Your inputs aren't inside your loop, so they only get read in once. See comments below:
Why are you iterating the number generator 5 times with shift registers? That 5 iteration For loop is doing nothing.
You're using Index Array on both your input arrays and the random number arrays. This will only be effective if they are the same size. It looks like you have everything set to 5, so if you use length 5 input arrays and Number of Points = 5, this should work just fine.
When i alter the array input values during runtime, one point moves around at a time depending on which index of the array I'm editing. Is this not what you want to happen? Do you want all points to move?
You seem to misunderstand how shift registers work. They're just a memory space from loop to loop. Some of your tunnels can be simplified to auto-indexing tunnels instead. This code below operates the same way as yours:
