Hello!

I tried to create animation of a missle flying along a spline
(superpatched POV). It looked good, so I decided to add some smoke
to it. I downloaded Mikael Carenholm's SmokeGen, read the
instructions and used it in my scene. But then - "error: RValue to
declare expected but spline identifier found instead."

Here's that part of the code:

#declare TorRakiety = spline {
  cubic_spline
  .75  <1.75, 0, 4>
  .9 <1.5, 2, 10>
  1.15 <1.75, 4, 16>
  1.25   <2.25, 6, 22>
}  

#if (clock>.75)
  sphere { 
    TorRakiety(clock) .25 
    pigment { rgb x } 
  }
  #declare obj_pos = TorRakiety(clock); //error appears to be here
  #include "SmokeGen.inc"
#end

Any suggestions...?

If you read the SuperPatch documentation, you'll see that splines have a bug
that requires you do this:

#declare obj_pos = <0,0,0>+TorRakiety(clock);

Thank you. I've read the SuperPatch docs some time ago and I forgot
about this. Really :)

No problem. You're human, so I am I. We are entitled to make mistakes and
