Wiring

[whitehorse]

firstly it is not moving along the view axis, it is moving along the world axis, that is how wiring works. is there a limit to the amount that you are having them move?, even attach a simple version on the file and i will have a look for you.

Here's a tip using expresion instead of wiring:

1. Create 2 dummies in top view and place them on top of each others

2. Select Dummy02 (the upper) and assign Float Expression to its x-rotation channel.

3. Open the controller's properties and create a Scalar variable "xrot".

4. The click assign to controller and select Dummy01>transform>rotation>x-rotation and click OK.

5. On Expression field type "xrot" and click close

Now when you rotate the Dummy01 along its x-axis, Dummy02 will rotate also in its own local axis.

To get spine-like rotation, parent the Dummy02 to Dummy01. Now when you rotate Dummy01, Dummy02 will rotate along its local axis as well as along Dummy01's axis.

whitehorse: There is a limit to the amount of rotation I woud like them to do. I will be attaching a file to this later tonight(no way to attach a file here from work. will do so when I get home tonight.)

ssalo: Thanks for the method. Going to give that a try now

Thank you all once again

since you are using a limit then i would look at using ractor floats,

show more once i get the file
