Hi there, One thing you could try is to just create the spline in UE4 Matinee. Check out this tutorial for more details on doing that if you like. > **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)** > > After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — ue4community.wiki! You will be able to find content from the official... We often animate cart paths this way and then attach things like cameras or even other objects to the cart moving along the spline. Also - if you just need a moving Camera on that Spline Matinee is the sure fire way to go. Shout and let me Know if this helps at all.
