Display potential path to the point

Thanks a lot! This is exactly what I was looking for, Spline mesh! will be looking now into that field in deep

I am aware of two methods.

If your game is fully 3d and the camera will often end up very close to the path, especially if the angle is sharp - as in facing the direction of the path, I’d suggest using a beam - I originally used spline meshes for that (3 intersecting planes with two-sided material) but they did not look too good when up close and personal. Beams worked better here for me:

They are somewhat more difficult to set up but you generally do not need to worry about rotating them too much. Also, unlike splines, you can branch them.

If you are planning on having a top down view, or you know the camera will never get a sharp angle or get very close, you may just stick to the splines (below). I found them easier to work with, less fussy (the particle emitters occasionally refuse to update/render - I’ve yet to notice that in 4.15, though)

If you’re looking for something similar to Xcom’s system, definitely stick with splines:
