Rereading now and do you want to use the slider as a multipl= ier? So when the slider is at 1 the object is on the path... At 0 the object= would be at  0,0,0  at 2 the object would be double the position o= f the current time?

Is this what you mean?

Sort of like scaling the entire motion path of keys in one or= all directions, but tying that to a slider, so that when the slider is at 0= , there is no motion. ie it clamps all values to 0.

There is probably an easier way to do this but I was wondering if this i= t was possible like this. Thanks,
