Strech object along spline

Submitted by tuxmask75 on Tue, 2013-04-16 12:16

Looking for a script that can stretch an object along a spline from its pivot point, however that does not use any Banking or rotation on any select Axis of X, Y , or Z if we so choose, All while following the spline shape.

here is an image.

Seems like a nice script, But

That script rotates the objects to the spline if it has depth ( just as every other method I've attempted.

Picture 1 shows the issue, ( models rotate left and right to align to path)

Picture 2 is how I would like them to behave but when having depth like picture 1.
Notice how they only follow the path and rotate on a single axis.

The best method so far was using path constraints. and 2 bones,
The main bone would be path constrained and animated from the start to finish of the spline, and the child bone which was applied to a skinned model has select Axis locks for some rotations disabled, as well as in heritance for only Y enabled. The issue that I'm getting is that when the object moves threw the loop it bugs out and starts flipping all over the place.

In the picture I disabled follow, bank, and allow upside down. since it really bugs out. just wanted to show the rig.

Edit: remember I will need to animate the steching effect from start of spline to end.
