Nearest Point

[PretzelStudios]

Hi guys, 

Total newbie here....

I have set up the script to move to nearest point like in the demo. But is there a way for this object to jump to the next point ahead of the player?

So instead of following it fly's ahead?

I suppose a dirty way of doing this would be to have an empty game object with a faster speed on the first spline then have the secondary follower to follow this instead.

but is there an easy way of doing this through code?

so got around this with what i said above which isn't a big deal. But is there a way to following object speed up instead of snapping to the point in front?

Thanks.

Hi,

First get the nearest point's TF from the player using the method GetNearestPointTF.
Then, if necessary, convert TF to distance using TFToDistance
Add the value you want to your TF or distance. This will give your the TF or distance of the point ahead of the player
Finally, use Interpolate or InterpolateByDistance to get the 3D coordinates of the new point.
