Hello,
I am workning on an infinite runner game, and I am using curvy as it provides smooth movements.
Now the plugin works perfectly as expected on the single lane paths.
But I have few paths that split into two or three paths.
There are two problems I am facing
- The region where it splits, the movement of the player is not smooth enough.
- The movement of the player is limited to the curvy splines. (For example if the player is moving on the far left lane, he will keep moving on the same lane, I want to make it such that player can choose for a specific period to switch to the right lane even if he is on the left lane).
Right now what I did is, a spline controller follows the spline, and left and right movement is handled based on horizontal input, and the child of the controller's local position is changed according to the input.
On the split intersections it calculates the input, and diverts the player accordingly to the respected splines.
Which is fine upto an extent, but I want to give more power to user, so that it doesn't feel like there is an invisible wall that doesn't allow to switch between splines where they do not intersect.
I apologise for the vague description, but I'll be happy to fill in with more info if needed.
I would really appreciate it if anyone can suggest what can I do to keep the same smooth movement on the intersections too.
I have attached a few screenshots of the split paths and intersections.
Thanks in advance,
Ajay.
