Hi gentib,

Thanks a for the project file!

To have the simplest setup possible, I would bake the animation and then offset the animation.

Shift C to get the Commander> Cappucino
or
Main Menu> Animation> Cappucino

Start Realtime while on frame zero. Position and Rotation are on.
Click and hold (do not move) the mouse over the object axis.
Then deactivate the Align To Spline.

In the Cloner, the Object> Reset Coordinates is off.
Instant Mode is on Instance.

Use a Step Effector, Switch scale off, and use the
Parameter> Other> Time Offset

Example

All the best

P.S.: … and here is a little bit more complex setup, but no animation baking needed.
Example

(The tracer can be deleted; No other function that showing the path.)

Hi gentib,

What set up, what scene, etc?

You need a little bit more specific.

Cheers

Thanks for noticing the PM, gentib.

Thanks for the file!

In this case, I would just change the Parameter:
Cloner.Object Mode > Transform> R.B.: 180º

(This specific Spline shape is a little bit tricky, so there might be a twist if a Rail would be used.)

All the best

You’re very welcome, hegentib. Thanks for taking the time.

If the path of the animation is final, I would prefer the “baked” animation.

All the best
