Making a Spline Train Using Rigidbodies to Move | Unity C# 

Glad to hear it has been a bit helpful! I haven't tried hinges yet but when I revisit this I think it will be the next thing I do. The way I set up the collider links on this project are a bit unreliable haha. Let me know if you get them working! I'd like to hear how it goes.

Hopefully it's helpful! Sounds like you're animating the transform based on a lerp between the start and the end of the spline? If that's true, my example is pretty much throwing that whole method out of the window lol. I just find the nearest point on the spline, snap the transform to it and make it face the direction of the tangent of the current point, then reapply the velocity onto the rigid body from the last frame. Very "hacky" solution but it allows for the application of physical forces while still following the spline. If I'm understanding your problem properly, you could implement my solution here, but just set the velocity to a constant value - this will stay the same no matter the length of the spline.

@@paridotgames superb, thanks for your suggestions. Your demo looks super-cool!

Thank you! 😃

It was probably easy to miss but I did cover it in the video - I essentially added collider hooks on the front and back of each cart, then interlinked them such that they'd act like a chain pulling each other along. This proved to be very bug ridden and slow though and I have since re-implemented it using configurable joints instead. I plan to make a follow up video for that next, so if you're having trouble figuring it out yourself stay tuned for that :) For the spline global position problem, I have not spent the time working on that so I couldn't explicitly help you there, but I would think adding the current global position of the spline to each point you're accessing as an offset would be a good place to start. Hopefully that helps and good luck!

@@paridotgames Thank you!

That was quite the frustrating realization lol

i wanna carry the gameobject conntected to spline container but the locals will not :(

Unity supports the spline package so they have a manual and API docs on their website docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.splines@2.0/manual/ It's definitely helpful, but for me I found it much more useful to just open up the example projects that come with the package and step through the code to see exactly how they use the API. I was able to more easily envision what I needed to do with a bigger picture understanding of how the code works together.

@@paridotgames thank you, subbed

I'm using the standard Unity supported spline package: docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.splines@1.0/manual/index.html You can install it from the Unity package manager

@@paridotgames thx

Is it for global? 🤔

thats fine worked :D

Thank you very much!
