hi
i'm trying to do a school of squid following a main character with particles, now, when the squids turn, how can i set it up so that legs react to the change in direction, the legs don't need to be doing a swimming motion, i just need some turbulance on them. the main concern is that they don't just follow the head of the squid in a rigid fashion?
hopefully that makes sense?
thx

Check out the Wire Object/solver stuff in DOPs, if you glue the wires to the “head” of the squid, then wherever you move the head, the legs will follow along in a natural way. Apply a Noise field to the legs so they move about on their own too.

Hey,
This cute demo over at odforce might help. Hmmm. And it's less than 42 Nodes I expect. :-)
It's an interactive flocking demo - there's a hip file you can download. You'll see the arrows chase the green thing which you can steer with your mouse; interactively. See the instructions for more into at:

cheers,
ben.
PS. You can probably achieve the delayed leg motion you're looking for with a Timing Chop (eg. delay, shift, lag…)
