Follow Surface

"Here's a script to allow an object to follow the contours/etc. of another object. It's called 'Follow_Surface' and it will enable you to have an object follow a surface even if the surface is animated. You can also follow the surface with a time delay (like a buoy does when it's floating on water)."

Thank you!

Shawn, thanks for script!
But, I have one question: HOW make that object move only Z axis and not rotate?
For example, I want it use on car's wheel.

if i understand correctly you

if i understand correctly you want to control rotation of the object by yourself (or helper) there is an easy way to achieve this by removig rotation script expression and replacing it by euler xyz and link it anyway you want or by your own script to control rotation

Thx !!!

This is a really good script, thank you!

Here's a suggestion for improvement : There should be an intermediate parent in order to keep control of rotation of the object. As if we apply the script on a point and that we attach the object to this point.
