align to spline problem?
Hi Im sure there is a simple way to do this.
If i attach an object like a sphere to a circular spline using align to spline how do i get the sphere to travel around the spline again and again because at the moment i can only go from 0 to 100 percent and then it stops i need it to go continually. Think moon orbiting the earth only very quickly.
I hope im being clear.
Thanks Emmet -

Motion clip should do it.
Or for a circle you could make a helix spline with a height of zero.

Howdy,
If you’re not familiar with my plugins, my CD Constraints plugin has a CD Spline Constraint tag which works similar to the align to spline tag, but with several additional features, like the ability to continue around a closed spline by setting the edit number values above 100% or below 0%. It will also allow you to manually drag the constrained object along the spline in the viewport:

Thanks Emmet -
