Getting object on spline Position when Spline has coordinates larger than 2000
#1
When Spline is located around world vector3.zero this:
curvySpline.GetNearestPointTF(curvySpline.GetNearestPoint(this.gameObject.transform.position, Space.Self))
does return Relative position correctly (slightly larger than 0).
But, if Spline/Generator is located for instance at:
Vector3 (-2000, 50, -100)
it returns 1 despite the fact that it should be closer to 0.
curvySpline.GetNearestPointTF(curvySpline.GetNearestPoint(this.gameObject.transform.position, Space.World)) - this does the same.

This is weird. Can you please send me a reproduction case? Also, what version of Curvy Splines do you use?
Please consider leaving a review for Curvy, this helps immensely. Thank you.

Using CurvySpline 8.7.2 and it is strange. On two separate scenes when spline and object (that attaches to spline on collision) are moved to x:-2000 relative position of contact is 1 and it should be closer to 0. In both cases when Spline and Object are moved closer to 0,0,0 everything works. Let me debug that further, maybe I did something wrong Wink

Using 
curvySpline.Flip()
after relative object on Spline position is set, results in this kind of behavior.
Also, converting object position to local space and then doing:

float relativePositionToAttach = curvySpline.GetNearestPointTF(curvySpline.GetNearestPoint(generator.transform.InverseTransformPoint(this.gameObject.transform.position), Space.Self));

is the better way

Everything is fine and dandy.

Glad to read that.
I see that, having a point A, you first get B, which is the nearest point to A on the spline, then you get TFB, the TF of B. You can simplify this by directly getting TFA, the TF of A. A and B have the same TF.

Yeah, getting relative position depends on direction of spline, so flipping it after that results in getting opposite relative position if I got it right.
