La Ola
Lo Ola creates wavelike delay motion. You define one master object and its slave objects. La Ola then links all the properties and modifiers you want via expression controllers. It does not create or copy any keyframes. Once set up you get direct feedback when you animate.
Added a new video created by Chris Murray on how to use LaOla
Changes Version 0.3
-added visibility to the list of properties
-added possibility to remove laola expressions from all objects
-increased speed on adjusting delay (via custom attribute)
Changes Version 0.2
- Added possibility to change delay amount afterwards (via CustomAttribute on the Master Object)
- Rotation is now relative to original position
Instruction:
1. Pick Master Object
2. Select Slaves and press "Add Selection"
3. Select the properties you want to be controlled by the master object.
4. Set the amount of ticks to be delayed
5. Under "Process" press "OK"
6. Use the Custom Attribute on your MasterObject to adjust the delay
Install:
Run "LaOla_v02.ms"

Bake to keyframe?
I need to export animation to another package which requires keyframes. Is there a way to bake each objects keyframes down for FBX export?
Multiple La Ola in a single scene
This is still one of my favourite scripts.
I was just wondering if there is a way to have multiple La Ola setups in a single scene.
I find that it will over write all of the setups if you just change one of the tick delays.
I am controlling a few different slices on the same objects that all need different delay settings.
Even if there is a way to just manually edit the current custom attributes I could change the one set to have a different variable name in the script controller.
Is this possible, I cant seam to access it in the Parameter editor?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Gavin
Edit: Looks like it is working in another file, I just have managed to break it somehow in the one setup i have. strange.
Ok, if you parent all the
Ok, if you parent all the bits of the geometry before hand, then the delay transforms work fine!
Few!!!

Parenting issues
Hey Dude,
Love the script, its super cool!
But seem to have run into a major issue regarding parenting.
Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible.
Once i get a cool looking delayed transform, I can't reposition the whole setup or parent it to a dummy etc!
Really hope this can be done!
Cheers!
when used on reference objects
Fantastic script thanks.
Is it possible to just copy the modifier that you are using.
I have a bunch of reference object, and it copies all the modifiers from below the reference point as well. So I have to go to each one and delete them.

path constraint controller
@ Oli:
Hi, in fact the delay effect should work for a master object with an path constraint. I just tried it and was surprised myself :) Greetings
