How to set a starting position for an Actor on a spline

Wondering how to set a starting position of an actor on a spline

• get location at distance
• get location at time
• get location at point
• get location at input key

Those will produce a relative / world space location on the spline you’re getting. We can also Find Location Closest to World Location with a node - can be convenient at times.

How to make sure the actor “loops” on the spline at this moment the movement ends as soon as actor reaches the end of the spline

Usually with modulo, have a look:

Move multiple actors along spline

Here’s a simplified (compared to yours) script I’d use were I to push numerous actors along a spline: [328859-screenshot-4.jpg] [Image from Gyazo] Essentially, each car stores an offset. We animate another spline offset using a timeline, add both, and reposition the car. An optional Modulo wraps the value so we get perpetual motion.

But you can also use a Looping Timeline’s float track to progress through a spline’s time directly.
