animation path problem - coordinates not resetting

[jelly]

I have a little problem that I have been stuck on for quite some time now. It is related to using several animation paths.

My trial function does the following: An animation is triggered right at the beginning, which takes the viewpoint through a short maze, according to the control points of the patheMaze1 animation. The viewpoint then stops at a position in front of two doors. Here one of two arrow keys must be pressed. This then triggers one of two possible animation paths (either going through the left or through the right door). Then all of this should repeat 4 times.

The problem is that I tried working with resetting the animation paths, linkin and unlinking the paths and the viewpoint and resetting the viewpoints at various locations in the code. Nothing seems to work.

I now have a new function that gives the coordinates of the animation path and the viewpoint (which should be linked) every 2 sec in order to be better able to understand the location coordinates. The code I have now (at the bottom) gives these following coordinates.

QUESTION: I have highlighted in red, whenever the maze animation path and the viewpoint are not coinciding. WHY COULD THIS BE? I would really appreciate your help, because apart from the animation path basics, I have found no other online resources to understand how several animation paths may interact/ disturb each other and all my efforts so far of trying to come up with combinations and move pieces of code around, have not been successful

Thank you very much for any kind help or pointers!
