Inverse path follow (tickertape)

Description

Hi all,

First time posting....

I'm looking for a script (or a work around) that does a sort of inversed pathfollow. That is, in a normal pathfollow-case the object follows a pathspline (optinally taking over the orientation of the spline).

Now, I want a spline to go through an objects pivotpoint while the spline is contantly reorientating itself to "follow itself" (the angle of aproach of the object and the spline is always the same).

Uhm, like a sort of tickertape ...

I can't do this in Max without creating depency loops and in my scripts I couldn't create the "reorientating" part.

Thanks in advance!!!

Marcel
