Using splines or objects to rotate another object
I am making a roller coaster track with 2 bending clones of cynlinders, like this: https://prntscr.com/283zdg
I want to use 2 tubes (hollowed cylinders) to align to these 2 lines of cylinders, and rotate with it. My problem is getting it to do this. Here’s an example of what I want: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIl206kObB4
It’d be best if no soft bodies or dynamics were used. Does anyone have a way to do this? Thank you for reading!

that would not be the usual way to do that sort of thing – is there some reason you want to use clones of cylinders?

Well with the cloner and a spline wrap, you can make sort of a roller coaster track. I want to know without dynamics how to rotate the camera, with a “align to spline” tag. The cloner with the spline wrap is what the roller coaster is. Thanks for replying!

the camera has an Align To Spline tag? Just check Tangential there and it should rotate like the spline, if that’s not working for you it helps a lot to use a Rail spline
