Imagine a horse and cart - the horse turn to the left and the front wheel assembly follows it by pivoting to the left - the remainder of the cart then pivots to the left slower as the horse moves forward - hope this all makes sense. Is there a way (forgetting the horse) to make something like this and if so can anyone give me some tips, examples or tutorials that might help.
Thanks

"Forget the horse" you mean that it being a horse is irrelevant, that it could be anything, I guess?
…well anyway what's the horse called?

If you want them as seperate objects: Using the principle similar to those simple follower pets you can make for example a train carriage that follows the engine, then the next carriage that follows the previous carriage then the next following that one etc, each carriage following the one infront.
They could either use chat or sensors to get the position of the one infront (chat may be less laggy)

Dekka! had to shoot the horse - wouldn't eat its carrots - (excommunicated the horse so people wouldn't get lost in talking about scripting the horse as opposed to the cart  Cortex - great feedback - I like it - thanks

No wait. Don't put the cart before the horse!  Anyway, as stated you could try to do this with two physical objects. With Havok 4, you MIGHT even be able to get away with a hitch and have one tow the other, but it's just a idea worth trying, not anything with any certainty. The other solution is actually quite similar to the way people have horses move: moving the prims that make up the back part all at once to reflect the curvature of the path the vehcle is following. That last isn't likely to be very nice or smooth looking.
