Hi Jason n all again..
To simplify it abit more.. (I forgot this..)
Instead of Step 2, just select the Sphere and in 'Controlbar' click the
'Simulation' button (this will add the chor with the attributes in one
go..)
But, This simpler one, just seems to work with objects themselves...! (At
least when you select them directly)
If you need to use Levels, then my Step 2 must be done.. since if using the
simpler method above on a Level RS will add the 'Simulation' Chor to the
SPHERE inside the LEVEL (that you had selected when clicked the 'Simulation'
button in the 'Controlbar'..
It works on Levels inside the 'Creator' Level, IF you select the 'Creator'
Level and set it to 'Simulation' (but 'Creator' objects, this dont show up
in the 'Controlbar' but have to be set in 'Property' Win, 'Spec' Tab
(and for the 'Creator' itself to not be Simulated.. just untic that again,
since it will leave the Level(s)/objects inside it with its Chors intact !)
Hope this wont be hard to follow.=)..
btw.. several of these Chors, are good to actually save for later, as
templates.. ready to just Multiselect loads of objects and add saved chors
in one go..
Take Care

Hi Jason..n all.
Hope this reaches the list.. =(.(didnt seem like my first did... so lets
hope this does..)
Here you go..
Say you have this simple example in your 'Select' Win..
PathCurve (that you want your Creator objects to follow...)
CreatorLevel
Sphere
1. Select the Sphere and make it Choreographable
2. In 'Chor' Window Add a 'Simulation' Chor to it, and in that chor add
the
'Translate' and maybe also 'Rotate Quaternion' Animatable Attributes...
3. In 'Select' Window, MultiSelect the Sphere and the PathCurve, activate
the 'Path' Tool by pressing (Shift + a Keys) and then directly just
accept
it, by hitting the 'Accept' button or the (Return Key) or whatever =)
4. Play around with 'Creation Interval' and 'Life Time' for the Creator...
and so on..
Hope I havent forgot something..
The key for it to work.. was to have the 'Simulation' Chor before the
"Path"
Keyframer Chor and the 'Lattice' Chor..(which you had to create before you
mapped the sphere to the path..since otherwise, the creator action would
create the 'Sim' chor at creation time.. and therefor it would come after
the other chors..)
Hope it works now then for ya..
Take Care

Subject: Creator object
Morning all
I'm driving myself nuts this morning trying to figure out how to get
objects created by a creator level to follow a curve path ?
i.e. has anyone managed to take each created object from a creator level
and have it precisely follow the path of a nurb curve?
Many thanks
Jason
