Hello
I have a set of cloners arranged in a linear fashion, and for some reason I can’t figure out how to have all the objects come and place themselves in the middle.
Here is a scene, where you can see the first clone leading the movement to a final position.

What I would like is for the first and last to both move towards the middle so it feels like an “accordeon” coming together.

I feel like this should be a very simple thing standing in front of my nose but I can’t see it…

Thanks!

Hi Alex,

I hope I got your idea correctly:

Project File

This is the most uncomplicated set up I was able to find.
Let me know if that works; otherwise, I’m happy to look into something else.

Cheers

P.P.S.: Here is another setup, but only based on Constraint Tags and Xpresso.

The Screen capture shows how fast it can be established, given that the prepared Xpresso tag is used.

The nice part is that every single object can be adjusted. As usual, there are many ways to do such a thing.

(Even rotation is available, it is best just for position change.)

My best wishes
