I’m working on a simple animation that has train carts following the man train cart. The front part is following a set path. I was thinking I could link the % of path followed to the rest of the carts but I don’t know the code that would offset the carts so they are not pushed up against the main part. Please help.

How about Position Constraint..with the orientation on and the coupling set to SOFT. give it a shot may just work...

Or I think there was a discussion on animating a rollercoaster on www.xsibase.com (http://www.xsibase.com) - maybe that would be worth looking at.
