The following line in your code:
let(myArray = array_replace_at(2,myArray,myReplacementArray))
will not do what you expect because all variables in OpenSCAD are a
immutable and cannot be changed. Instead of changes you need to generate a
new array based on the previous one. If the new array generation depends not
only on the input array but on part of itself, the only way I know to do it
is by recursion.
Here is an example. Given one input array, I want the array of the
accumulated sums of it, that is, in almost plain english:
output[i] = sum(input[0:i]) for all i
To generate output from input consider the following recursive code:
function accumulated_sums(input, i=0, acc_sum=[]) =
i == len(input) ?
acc_sum :
let( sum_i = (i==0 ? input[0]: acc_sum[i-1] + input[i]) )
accumulated_sums(input, i=i+1, acc_sum = concat(acc_sum, [ sum_i
]) );
echo(accumulated_sums([0,1,2,3,4]));
// ECHO: [0, 1, 3, 6, 10]
