Transform Path

Adding Transform Path

To add a transform path to the scene via UnigineEditor, do the following:

Run UnigineEditor.
On the Menu bar, click Create -> World -> Transform Path.
Choose the path to the .path file.
Notice
The path can be changed afterwards in the Transform tab -> Path field.
Place the object somewhere in the world.

To make objects move along the pass, do the following:

Make the object the child of the path.
Set the same initial positions of the object and of the path.
Notice
If the object has coordinates different from the path, it will have the corresponding offset relatively to the path.
To put the object in motion, click Play in the Transform tab of the WorldTransformPath.
Adjust the playback parameters.

The WorldTransformPath has the following parameters:

Path	Sets a path to the new .path file.
Orientation	Indicates whether the object should be oriented along the path or keep its initial position.

The WorldTransformPath has the following playback parameters:

Loop	Loops the transformation defined by the path.
Orientation	Indicates whether the object should be oriented along the path or keep its initial position.
Radius	Sets the radius for the WorldTransformPath applying (valid only outside the viewing frustum). If the child object transformed according to the path gets outside the viewing frustum, but stays in the radius range, the playback of the transformation sequence does not stop.
Time	Sets the time, from which the playback of the transformation defined by the path starts. Notice If the object is oriented along the path, its transformation will correspond to the path transformation at the specified time. Otherwise, only position of the object will be changed.
Speed	Sets the speed of playback of the transformation defined by the path. Notice Negative values provide the reverse playback.
Play	Continues playback of the transformation defined by the path, if it is paused, or starts the playback, if it is stopped.
Speed	Stops the playback of the transformation defined by the path. This function saves the playback position so that playing of the transformation defined by the path can be resumed from the same point.
