I need help with making armor stands follow behind a player.
The intended effect I'm going for is to make a snake tail sort of look behind the player with armor stands and heads.

So far the best i could think of is a group of 4 armor stands that teleport to each the one in front of them after getting past a certain distance behind

execute at [playername] run tp @e[tag=tail1,distance=1.5..] ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

i feel like if somehow i could make the armor stands walk toward the one in-front of them after a certain distance, that would work
what would be perfect is if i could make them trail behind on the path the player took

side note, im frustrated that Java doesn't have the "^ ^ ^" relative coordinate things that bedrock does
