Hi, I'm working on a shoot em up game and I've decided to use Curvy for enemy patterns.
I've made some progress with single enemy but I have no clue how can I make multiple objects follow a spline aligned. Can anyone give me a hint or show me the way to start ?
This is what I'm trying to do :

If you have a single element with a spline controller attached, just prefab it and instantiate it (possibly use a pool for speed reasons).

Thx for reply. I have a spline and planning to put many elements on it. So instantiating them would be bad for performance. But it worked, thx anyway.

Wondering if you ever figured this out? I'm trying to do something similar and curious to know if you found a workable (and efficient) solution. Thanks much!

Having objects, each with a SplineController attached, using a spline is the easiest and best way to go. If SplineController is too much overhead for your particular setup, you'll need to create a custom script that uses Curvy API to get spline data and move your objects accordingly. But unless you want to animate several hundred objects simultaneous I would stick to SplineController.
