'Flow path object' freezes object/lattice


#1

Hey all
I was experimenting with this technique i just discovered
https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya-lt/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2015/ENU/MayaLT/files/Path-Animation-Deform-an-object-along-a-motion-path-curve-htm.html

Yet once ive added the lattice and press play it doesnt follow the motion path curve anymore, the lattice and object just sit there, anyone know why? :/, ive even followed video tuts doing the same thing and it works on their end but not mine, im baffled

Ive reset maya prefs too, didn’t help.

Im on maya 2018.3, win 7 pro 64bit
