Hi, i'm doing a simple animation where 3 objects rotate on a sort of turn-table. The problem comes when i rotate all 3 objects + the table, as it rotates, the objects rotate and they don't continue facing forward. I'm wondering how i could force the objects to continue facing one direction, but while still having the ability to rotate the object. The freeze object option gets me half-way there, unfortunately i can't even select the object afterwards.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Don't worry, i figured it out :P. Just make splines and go to the Motion tab, select the position: path constraint and add a path constraint controller to it. You can then select a path for that object to move along.

Sorry for the trouble.
