Rebbie: I had the same problem with a train accident, this is what I did. * Create the path for the first object * Then, do a "object/tracks/copy" to the second object, use the position, rotate and absolute options. * Go to the track info and slide the "all tracks" starting with the second key to the left "x" number of frames. The number of frames to slide the keys is determined by the distance the object travels per frame divided by the distance you want the second object to follow. The following distance is from the front of the first object to the front of the second obects. If the oject is 50 feet long and you want it to follow by 10 feet, then the following distance is 60 feet. * All the objects will start from the same position and then follow the object in front at the appropiate time. You will want the starting location to be out of sight because of this. Any questions feel free to ask away!!! Regards…….Rick – Technical Animations
