I need a straight road that you could theoretically ride down indefinitely

Here's the catch, I need it built out of box segments 320 units long. I need 6 segments... Like... when you get past the first segment, I want it to be deleted and spawn at the end of the line

Any idea anyone?
I've gotten it working with one track in a function...
But I need it in a way where I can plug it in a function and make multiple tracks.

I've got a variable 'bar' to show how many segments I've passed...

I dont know, I'm stumped... any ideas? PLEASE HELP!

Hehehe

GNAAAAAAAAAAAAAR

perhaps if you could work out the orientation of the track at the last position before you need another one to begin, then place the object/matrix directly next to it and with the same orientation. Then you could use a function to smooth the edges of bother matrices into each, assuming you are using a matrix...

have a look at the commands to slide the matrix along. (shift matrix, dont forget to update)

they will allow you to shift a matrix depending ont he data represented.

you could using some math create a infinite track.

in dbc there is an example of this as like the first real example past the simple stuff to achieve this.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself
