    Hi guys,

    i have about 9 objects, object1 starts doing his movements and i want that a light is following it. Which seems to be very easy, but after 10 frames i want to indicate the light to follow object 2. Can someone give me some hints? Maybe i searched with the wrong keywords for it.

    Thank you very much.

    It seems as if you want the target of the light to track the 9 objects in sequence. Sometimes the simplist solutions are the easiest.
    You could kust duplicate the light 9 times, keyframe the intensity of the various lights to come on as the prior one goes off and then simply pickwip and parent the light target position to the position of the elements they are tracking.

    This will be much faster and easier than trying to figure out an expression to handle changing position targets or look at targets for a simple need. But, I am not an expression guru either.

    Hope this helps
