I know I've seen this before in Max, but does anybody recall/know of an object like "line", but with inertia? Meaning I give a destination value which gets overshot slightly, then overshot again (only less) as it tries to return to the value, repeat, etc., until it finally rests? a "springyline"? Thought I'd ask before trying to write something myself.

I don't think that'll do it unless I'm missing something...which could very well be the case...but nothing jumps out at me after playing with the help file.

Hey ej,

The first thing that came to mind was one of the 3rd party physical modeling objects. Springs and dampers :) Could be overkill but looks like fun.

you might want to check out the max port of pmpd, a set of physical modeling objects:

This i an example built with regular objects.

Andre Sier has some nice physics objects including a spring simulator whose

mass, damping and inertia can be set - is this what you're after?

They're at:http://sier.risco.pt/code/A_objects/

same example, with pmpd.mass + pmpd.link :

Thank you all for your input! This is fantastic.

Mathieu: your example is right on for what I need. What a great set of objects! I'm going to definitely spend some time today digesting this.
