[3d Max 7}Charriot anim - Page 2

Some steps:

1. Link Carrier to Dummy.

2. Select Dummy > Animation Menu> Constraints > Path Constraint> Click ur spline path. Now the chariot moves along the path.

3. Input curvelength $Helix01 at MaxScript Mini Listener, then press enter. This is the value of the spline length. I call it CurveLength. (Helix01 is my spline that is used as a path, if ur path is called spline01, then use $spline01)

4. Wire Wheel01 Y rotation to Dummy Position > Path Constraint > Percent.

5. Input degtorad(-Percent*CurveLength) at Wheel01. 2305.68 is my CurveLength.

Here's a screenshot. The dummy has to be placed between the 2 wheels, and it's pivot point is exactly "on the ground".

Maybe u could try

CurveLength*degtorad(-Percent)

It gives the same result too.
