  v5.4.4 DOTween updated to 1.2.235 changed: local checkbox to dropdown, none/toPath/toObject. toPath is the same as enabling local in earlier versions. toObject can be used to let objects move on path formations from their local position minimum required Unity version: 2017.3.0

  Thanks, I will try that again. I noticed that DOTween also has a path component, what's the difference between using this and SWS to make something follow a path? Is there a way to stop at each waypoint, or can I maybe subclass it and modify something? Sorry if this should be a separate question :)

  Hi Philippe, did you see our PlayMaker actions contained in the Extensions folder? There is a separate manual for it too. For switching paths, you would use our SetPath method / action, also demonstrated in the PlayMaker sample scene. You can explicitly force the movement script to reset its position to the beginning by calling ResetToStart (public method) on it prior to that.

  No, there is no dictionary or list saving the relationship between movement scripts and paths. You would need to do this manually, e.g. FindObjectsOfType and then checking their path container.

  You can change the speed value in the component inspector, or at runtime by calling the ChangeSpeed(newValue) method. https://www.rebound-games.com/docs/sws/splineMove.html

  SetPath() is starting the movement directly, which is why you would want to modify the startPoint beforehand. Glad that you figured out how to do it with the progress value as well.

  No, I understand that. I mean after creating bezier path with children that have 2 additional children, if you create a waypoint through a bezier path manager component, it won't be treated as a waypoint and, well, events won't work. Thank you for help again, good luck :)

  Could you please specify what example you mean? Which scene and sample number? All objects are moving on a designated path when using the splineMove script, which is tween based. The other type of movement would be navMove, which is navmesh based. Please have a look at the PDF manual included in the package for instructions on how to create paths and use these scripts. For programming, open our scripting reference linked in the pdf as well. If you are looking for a specific sample, open the associated sample script and have a look at how it is coded - there are numerous comments to explain it.

  Thank you for help. I ended up creating an event at the end of a path to manually reduce the speed over time and that works perfectly now. Also I just changed my paths from Beizer to Spline and now it doesn't reset the rotation at the end of a path. Also, if someone face this trouble and you don't want to reduce speed by event, you can rotate an object by event, Lerp() or RotateTowards() will work in this case. Events are really handly here, didn't notice this at first. Thanks one more time, good luck!

  Hello, it is correct that moveToPath needs to be enabled before calling StartMove() or SetPath(). The reason behind this is that moveToPath not only is a checkbox in the inspector, but an actual internal toggle for the script whether or not the object should move to the path. It also stays enabled until the object reaches the path, so it can be checked in order to figure out whether the object is currently moving but not on the path.

  MoveAnimator Script and Root Motion

  Hello, sorry for the delayed response time over the weekend. Since the movement is controlled via tweens (DOTween), no root motion can be applied at the same time. The MoveAnimator script only applies the speed and direction of the animation, however it is not responsible for the tween itself. If you would like to pause the tween and let root motion take over, you would have to call .Pause() on the movement script which pauses the tween's update routine.

  Hello, for a closed loop you can either use the loop type Loop and check the "Closed" box, or place the last waypoint on top of the first. What's the issue I could help you with?

  Hi Brent, thanks for registering! Could you let me know if the issue also occurs in one of the following scenarios? New scene in new project Different Unity version (e.g. 2018 if you have that installed) Unity 2019.1.8f1 on a Windows PC (if you have access to one) I will try to get similar setup like you, however I would like to avoid updating my Macbook to Mojave so that leaves me with downloading Unity 2019.1.8f1... If you finished testing the points above, which are possible to you, could you please send me a zipped up project that reproduces the issue to our email address? Our email is linked on our main website.

  Object has wrong rotation when following path

  Thanks for joining the forums. The cause is that your model has a different "forward" rotation than the movement script / Unity is expecting. I'm not sure about Maya, but in Blender the object rotation needs to be "applied" to the model, for it to have any effect in Unity. Ultimately you have two options: go back in your modelling application and rotate the model there, or create a new gameobject in Unity, attach the movement script to this new gameobject and make your object a child of it. The movement script will now move the parent instead of your (child) model directly, so you can now rotate the child to the desired rotation.

  Don't call Stop() if you plan to let the movement script resume at some later point in time. Let your node call Pause() instead, and Resume() later. Stop () Disables any running movement routines. Pause (float seconds=0f) Pauses the current movement routine for a defined amount of time. Resume () Resumes the currently paused movement routine. https://www.rebound-games.com/docs/sws/splineMove.html

  Sure. Don't forget to set the default ease type in DOTweens settings to "Linear" and auto kill to enabled though (that's the default values SWS is using).

  I guess it happens when upgrading projects between Unity versions, some internal calculations could get corrupted... Nothing I could fix there, but glad it works out in the end :)
