Cyclic dependency of constraints: "Track To" to child object I have a cube and an empty which is the child of the cube. I add the "track to" constraint to the cube; the tracking target is the empty.

This will not work. When moving the cube, the empty will not move. I would like to have such a setup because it would be very intuitive for some animation nodes I am doing.

The console shows that I created a cyclic dependency of the constraints:


  Dependency cycle detected:
  
  Cube depends on Empty through Track To.
  Empty depends on Cube through Parent.


I'd like to be able to move the cube (and the child - the empty - with it). Only when I explicitly move the empty, the cube should reorient itself in order to track the empty.





Any help or workaround is greatly appreciated.

This doesn't work because a dependency cycle, i.e. both objects are dependent upon each other. To solve this, add another empty and parent both objects to it. To move the cube, move the parent empty.
