Hi @jhpark!
I don't work for the SDK team, but I believe the script below will do what you want.
Some quick notes about posting:
-
When entering your code into a post on this forum, make sure you hit this button first
It creates code tags in your post. Put your code in between those and then it will format your code automatically.
-
Also, after submitting, hit the button Topic Tools at the bottom right of your post to Ask as Question.
-
When someone has answered your question correctly, click this button at the bottom of their post.
This makes it clear to the moderators when the question has been correctly answered.
Here's the code. Because you were using ID_BASEOBJECT_COLOR, I was unsure if you wanted the object's display color or the material color (they are two different things), but I wrote this for the sphere's texture tags' material's color. Also, the code is for the spheres' relative position. More work would need to be done to get the animating position track values into global space.

Here's a scene file where the object's display colors and material colors are different. The display colors are visible in the viewport, but you will see the material color if you render.
