  Hello & welcome to the forum. If you own SWS already, then you should definitely check out the runtime example scene, where a path is created via code at runtime. It does place multiple waypoints and "constructs" the path out of that, so yes, it is possible - waypoints are basically just game objects placed in the scene. To make it clear, you can use any (static) game object as a waypoint.

  Hello Manuel, of course - in the script, after it says "SpawnAtPos(tweenPath.PathGetPoint(perc));", you would just get a position further along the path e.g. using tweenPath.PathGetPoint(perc + 0.01f) and orient the object to that position.

  Please do not contact us on multiple channels with the same question. Copy pasting from our email conversation: You could try setting the "lookAhead" value in the movement script inspector to something very small to smooth it out, e.g. 0.02. Otherwise if you would like to control the rotation in more detail, please check out the waypoint rotation example scene.

  Hello Div, welcome to the forum. There is a "Local" path demo in the Advanced example scene, as well as a 2D sample. Ticking the "local" checkbox on the movement script is the first step, but both the moving object and the path also need to be parented to the same game object. In this scenario the parent game object can be moved too, with the child object moving locally. 3D or 2D does not make a difference in this regard.

  Baroni - Thanks but I figured it out based upon your comment about the coordinates of parent object! I found a Z value of 2 units on a parent object that I did not expect. Once I zeroed it out, it works as expected. Thanks so much!

  Hello, the events example scene has a sample on adding events to waypoints at runtime. The last waypoint of a path would be "path.waypoints.Length-1". What do you have issues with exactly?

  Why are you creating a new account with a fake email for each thread? This is the third thread now. The "start point" variable does what you said, starting at the defined waypoint index when the movement is triggered. For example if you enter "2" and let "OnStart" enabled, your object will start from the second waypoint. Note that on bezier paths this is the value for control points, not waypoints.

  For positioning objects along the spline, at a fixed percentage value (e.g. at 50% on the path) you would use DOTween's PathGetPoint. Please see the officlal DOTween documentation for this: http://dotween.demigiant.com/documentation.php#gettingData *Vector3 PathGetPoint(float pathPercentage) Returns a point on a path based on the given path percentage (returns Vector3.zero if this is not a path tween, if the tween is invalid, or if the path is not yet initialized). * pathPercentage Percentage of the path (0 to 1) on which to get the point. Vector3 myPathMidPoint = myTween.PathGetPoint(0.5f);

  Hi, SWS uses a simplified path length calculation with mostly straight distance checks between control points instead of curve functions. So when in doubt, or when the difference matters, rely on DOTweens base value.

  Hi Baroni. I tried with NavMove, and my characters now dont walk into each other. Dont know why it wouldn't work with Spline Move, but its perfect now so all happy here... Mark

  Please try deleting/commenting out the following lines in the splineMove script: 217 561 This is a quick fix, although I need to retest this for all scenarios (when Reverse and GoToWaypoint methods are called manually) in the next update.

  Hey Baroni, just wanted to say your advice worked perfectly! Wanted to post what I did in case anyone else runs into the same issue. As you mentioned, it was actually the green boxes that moved and not the path. In addition, as you had mentioned paring the green boxed with the AR Camera was also causing some issues. Solution was to change the "World Center Mode" on Vuforia to "First_Target" rather than "Device" which it defaults to. This ensures that the green boxes which are the child of the target image will remain in place when triggered. In addition, I moved the TargetImage outside the ARCamera so that it does not have any potential to move with the camera. Seems like these two actions let the path work perfectly! Thanks again, really appreciate the help.

  Sorry for the late reply, as I'm currently travelling. Thanks for the explanation, although it still is a bit unclear to me what the exact behavior is that you are experiencing? On your last sentence "doesn't work like an elevator" I am failing to imagine what happens at that point. Few things to check: make sure you selected Speed instead of a Time value / Ease type The loop type should be set to None / disabled Reverse should not be called at the first or last waypoints I.e. when the object is not moving. I don't have the source code in front of me right now, but you should be able to set the "reverse" boolean to true instead and just call StartMove as usual in that case. (Maybe that's what the Reverse method does anyway without an active tween). Could you please elaborate more what the resulting behavior is.

  Thanks for looking into it.  For now, I just move the last waypoint slight aside from the first waypoint and everything will work ok.

  Hello Raymond, to call/change something over time, you would need to use a coroutine. For example by calling the coroutine faster with an increasing value at the beginning, and delaying it at the end, you would have an accelerating simulation. Since SWS comes with DOTween, you could just make use of that: DOTween.To(myFloat, myFloat, targetVal, duration).SetEase(Ease.OutCirc).OnUpdate(MyCallback); where "MyCallback" would be your method, taking the animated value and calling ChangeSpeed.

  Hello and welcome, Simple Waypoint System doesn't move objects like that - do you have any other movement script (or multiple) attached to your plane? Or any physics / rigidbodies that could interfere with the movement script? Unfortunately you didn't select your object in the video, so it is hard to tell.
