Hi Martin Bergwerf! I want animate these instances along the curve path, but when I set transform or use translate instance node, instance not move along path the are going out side of the curve.

Ah, that is not directly possible as far as I know (at least not like that), but you should have a look at this video by Erindale:

Indeed, I don't think it's possible after you create the instances, but you can create and move points along the path first and then instance the geometry on those points afterwards.

Can you guide, how to move multiple points along path, when I tried, all of points moving at the same position.

Solution

Here's one solution:

There could be an easier way to do it, but the idea is to pass in a field to the Sample Curve node so that the location gets sampled at multiple points along the path.

Thanks! I thinks it's the simplest solution for this problem. I found many videos for solving this problem, but it's was more complicated and...
