[Closed] Wiring Path Deform to Path Constraint – With Offset?

Hey whats up guys, title says it all.

I have an object using a Path Constraint to animate along a spline (with some specific and subtle keyframe curves) so I’m using the Wire Parameters to link a second Path Deform object to it.

However, In some cases the Path Deform path is slightly larger than the Path Constraint path.

So instead of just linking them together, I need to an include a small offset, so it’s like I need to say “wire PathDeform to PathConstraint + 17%” (which would equate to the exact difference in the length).

There doesn’t seem to be much I can really customize in the Wire Parameters so just wondering where to go from here.
