Hey,
This is just an idea, but if you spawn an empty object each time the trail bounces, you can use something like the "Move Towards" action to have the player move from empty object to empty object, essentially following the trail.
I'm sure it will be a bit more complicated than that to set up properly, and I'm sure there are better ways of doing it, but that's probably how I would try it myself.
I hope you find a good way of accomplishing this, good luck!
