[rpmaguire]

Hello,
Im trying to animate a conveyor belt.
Can't seem to figure it out... ive watched a couple chain and tank tread animations.
Here is a video to explain what is going on

Im trying to animate the path % on the constraint.
This obviously wont work, or im missing something.

Thanks,
Ryan

Notice how the Age value dissapears after you spread out the threads. The moment you touch the slider you once again introduce a fixed value and therefor, all threads jump to same position.

Perfect!
I link the treads with the x position of a null and animated the null.
Thanks so much for the reply.
