Like the title states I want to do a line trace but rather than a straight line I want to go along a curved path. Right now I am using sphere trace at multiple points on a spline but would have more consistent results if I could do a curved line trace. Thanks!

I don’t think you can do a spline trace. I don’t know how you’re doing your current trace, but doing a sphere trace at

would be a reliable method.
