Looking for Snake/Follow the Leader Example

Hey all,

I've been quite busy working on various stuff for CoI, and I am looking for a more efficient way than what I've been brainstorming to come up with a follow the leader movement for one of my bosses. After exhausting my searches through the forums (most old posts are gone/missing/broken links) and through Nivram's site without finding anything concrete - I come to you guys in search for an example file.

I'm looking for a 'snake' or actually more closer to 'follow the leader' example file(s), that offers smooth travel (not in 'block' increments) without using 3rd party extensions. Sort of akin to how some old RPG's overworld movements work for a party following the leader around. Adjustable follow distance per 'link' and being able to adjust speeds without breaking or distorting the chain would be preferable. Also, the method of repeatedly creating new links and destroying old ones is not acceptable, it must be a true following system.

First one who can provide what I'm looking for will get a special thanks mention in the credits of CoI, provided it is your example file and not someone else's work. Otherwise, You just get a sincere thanks for pointing me to a working example file.

Thanks in advance!

Circular/oval - but it's more important they just follow each other. Closely. XD

Top value controls spread, bottom value for elasticity. Nicely done!
