Objects follow with delay and damp!

[tjer]

Hello,

I am new to the forum and more a designer. So i am searching for a script that will do the following.

-Main comp has 10 objects that move around in 3d space.
-There's 1 main object (in the middle) surrounded by 9 other objects.
-The 9 (sub) objects follow the main object, but with some delay, so everywhere the main objects go the other will follow with a delay to the main and to the other objects.
-If the main objects stops (with a little bounce/damp) the other will stop to, with..... a delay.

The best to see this is that all the (sub) objects are connected to the main with invisible "rubber string".....

I hope that this a clear explanation of what i am looking for and also if it's possible to make a script/expression for this.

Cheers

Thierry

Check out Dan Ebberts's "Elastic Connection" expression:

I think that's the effects you were looking for (or it can easily be changed to what you want)
