Advanced Lightning following a path
Anybody able to help me make a bolt of lightning follow a fairly complex path? Its just one main closed path which I’ve created in Illustrator. This is pasted to a mask, 3d Stroked and animated to ‘write on’, precomped and has advanced lightning applied with -20 Alpha obstacle. But I’m having trouble getting the bolt to stay along the alpha stroke – it keeps jumping towards its Direction property off track. And if I animate that to travel around the stroke as well its no better – I actually want to bend the bolt to follow my stroke, a bit like the snake computer game (but a lot faster)

Get yourself Digital Anarchy’s Anarchy Toolbox and use Path Distort to make a pre-comped, straight lightning bend around your path.
