spline wrap / cloner /delay not working
Hi guys,
Im trying to make this effect and cannot work out whats wrong with it , maybe You can help me out, so ok, here we go:I made a circle object, extruded nurbs ( at this point i tried both: converted to object as well as left the extruded nurbs), increased subdisvisions, made a b-spline so i can make it animate along the spline with spline wrap, and all this works, the problem is that I cannot make the delay effect to work,when I set the delay to spring, nothing happens, I put the delay into Cloner effector tab of the circle ofcourse.set the delay to spring.
What i want to achieve is the bouncy effect on the end of animation, but the delay never works….how to make it work, Im still learning c4d, maybe I just made some stupid mistake, maybe I should go different route, IDK….tried it with cube, doesnt work, so maybe im doing something wrong…

the Delay will only work with Mograph stuff, cloners/fracture object not with SplineWrap – if you cloned the circle along the b-spline using a Spline Effector you could toss the Cloner into a Loft and get the same result as the extrude and spline wrap but now the Delay would work.

Thanks for reply Brian. I got strange results when tried to increase instances on cloner, above 12 on Your example.
i prepared a file for better understanding.
The right one is basically what I want to achieve, but without the Delay,since it will not work this way, the laft one is my try to replicate Your way Brain. -
Ah, extrude along the spline not move along the spline, still works but the star would be better as a XY plane orientation – it’s usually better to extrude/loft along the lofted splines Z axis – I’m guessing you were trying various things to get it to line up along the spline and I didn’t try to figure out what, I just reoriented the star and put in a new cloner and Spline effector.
Then I changed the F-Curve of the Spline effector’s End parameter so it stops abruptly, if the End parameter stops too slowly the Delay doesn’t do anything you can see.9524_delaysplineeffector2.c4d.zip
