Yo Doc….. How's SEA? How's MOM? Gotta a question. I am trying to use FLOCK to drag about 50-75 musical notes across the screen. The idea is for them to start at a certain location and then sorta follow a path around behind a leader note. I saw something like this in Wavefront stuff. They hooked on the leader object and everything just followed along. Real cool. Do you know what the settings would be to get this same affect? Does Jim or Don have any ideas? Or is it not possible? I am trying to start at a certain location and have them fly around and then end up disappearing through a small hole. The random nature is not real suitable. I am trying to avoid creating "instants" and following a path. If anybody else has any ideas, jump in. Thanx. Be talking to ya. SW….

PMJI, but although Flock is not really designed to do this, you might be able to get something useable by experimenting with the ROOST SPEED parameter. You won't have any precise control though. BILL
