FollowSpline Speed Question

[mwitt8178]

Hey... We were talking on Unity's forum and I am moving that thread here to your support forum Curvy thread.

I currently have a custom script which is called during an "[font]OnTriggerEnter", that detects when my character running along the spline collides with a sphere collider.  I have created dynamic sphere colliders which are used as waypoints on my path.  As soon as my character collides with a waypoint sphere collider, I want to dynamically change the speed of my character.

My character is using your "Follow Spline" script (with the updateAbsolutePrecise function) which moves it along the spline path, and I am looking to dynamically change the speed value for the Follow Spline script from my OnTriggerEnter function on my custom script.  

Do you have a specific method or approach to easily do this as it seems I am having difficulty accessing and setting variables and functions which use static, private and protected options.   [/font]

FollowSpline.Speed is a public field, so you can change it from anywhere. Just store a reference to the script instance in your custom script, then change Speed as you like.

sorry for this noob question but how store the followspline script instance

By having a public field in your Component that stores another Component of type FollowSpline, like:

Code:

public class Test : MonoBehaviour
{
public FollowSpline MyControllerObject;

void Update()
{
MyControllerObject.Speed=10;
}

}
