    Looping traffic and using color event with it..

    Ok, I'm just trying to get my background detail finished so I can finally finish my latest project. Anyways, I'm trying to figure the logic out but I am brainless. I just want to have traffic travel in a straight line from point A to point B and then respawn at A at random intervals and have the car a different color if possible. I have it semi worked out using the example animation cars copied and pasted at different places throughout the road they travel but it is quite a bit of logic that I'm sure I can cut down. Any help is appreciated!

    You need a looping OPE set up for the cars. Then you need a colour event timed to change the cars colour at the end/start of each ope loop.

    Well I gathered that much on my own.. the "wiring" it together is where I struggle.

    OPE: https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1...enheqPO4g/edit

    As for the colour change, You can use an interval trigger to send an impulse at timed intervals to a colour event targeting the car.

    Excellent Barry, that should get me to the finish line! I've got those tutorials bookmarked but totally missed that one. Thanks for the help.

    Thats one of my own actually. There was a global OPE tutorial done differently, but I prefer the curved data source method, so I made my own! lol

    Hope that gets you through it.
