Can 1 3D object follow the edge/path of another

[zackheimbegner]

Hello,
I am trying to explore ways to get 1 3D object to follow the edge/path of another.
For point of Reference, in Cinema4D I am able to tell a Sphere Object to follow the Path of a Spline, and I can animate that travel path with keyframes.
In my Smode project, I am able to create a Helix to imitate a wavy line, and I am able to create a Sphere. I am at a loss for a method or a Modifier that might allow for my Smode ball to travel along my Smode Helix. Ideally in a way that the sphere will still follow the Helix path if I edit the Helix shape.

Any insight on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

For a visual aid on what I am trying to accomplish, here is an image breakdown.

Hello

you can check the Path Animation renderer that you can add to the curve and then select the object you want to animate
here is the documentation on it with a video: https://smode.fr/doc/ref/other/types/path-animation.htm

The Path Animation works great! Thank you for that step in the right direction.

Follow up question; when I added a Repeat Modifier to my Helix Path, it does not repeat the Geosphere (understandable). When I add a Repeat Modifier to my Geosphere, and copy the Parameters, the repeated Geospheres do not follow the Repeated Helix paths.

Is there a way to get a Repeat Modifier to effect both the path and the Object following the path?

I have tried your setup but for me it's ok
To make the repeat modifier the same I copied it from the path to the Geosphere

can you send your compo so I can test on my side ?
