Back to reality (well, not *exactly REALITY* but…), sorry my message came out as a stream <g>. I was composing it on line. The main point was create alot of spline points, and then use the one that is closest to where you want to be. That way you can have a variable velocity. Maybe it would be easier to think about if you changed "T" (time) to "D" (distance) in the spline formula. Then you add velocity to distance to get the new spline point. If you're not doing a roller coaster, you'll need to define the velocity and how you want it to vary. I got a little carried away with the roller coaster, and getting it to run backwards <G>. If you're not doing a roller coaster, you can forget everything at the end that referred to hight and friction. The other equations should be exactly what you want. Question away! I love this stuff <G> There are 2 Replies. Read action !
