Title: iTween Moving Along a Path while Rotating
Post by: terrorteck on November 22, 2015, 02:16:39 PM

just sort of new to playmaker and iTween so might be overlooking some basics here but I want to be able to move along a path while also being able to adjust the rotation of an object but still have it looking in the direction of the path.

I have an object set up and working moving along a path using "move_to" and "orient to path" enabled to keep looking in the direction of the path but when I try to add rotation to the object it doesn't work too well. When i disable "orient to path" i can rotate the object as hoped but now it no longer points in the direction of the path.

I can only assume that there is some conflict when using "orient to path" as it is doing some rotation adjustments itself. Is there any way around this?

this web demo explains what I am trying to achieve you are able to rotate while still following a path.

How to just make an helper object that moves and orientates towards the spline and do the manual rotation on a child object? Not tested but might be the easiest fix.
