i've got about 20 squares that have to move within a translucent pipe that curves. I have no problem placing a motion path and having one of my "packets" move along it...but for 20?
isnt there a way where they can be linked (not grouped as they dont "go with the curves) where they act as if they are on the path as singles-following one another?

Hi Spinners, I got good results by creating a single cube, creating a motion path, and then duplicating the cube. Each duplicated cube was moved backwards from the original until I had a line. None of the motion paths was changed. They followed each other in a neat, tidy row!

Cool animation, sparks my imagination for a video I am working on... Since I have only experimented with the animation system, is this something that only the C4 updates allow, or can this be done in C3 too? Regards, Paul
