Using Splines to drive Motion Matching

It is also possible to drive Motion Matching using splines. This method allows you to create more complex and dynamic paths for your characters to follow. The SplineCharacterController script is provided to help you achieve this.

Example

To explore an example scene, access the Package Manager, select the Motion Matching package, and import the Examples sample. The sample scene will be located at Samples/Motion Matching/[version]/Examples/Scenes/00_Basic/ExampleSplines.unity.

Getting Started:

1. Add the SplineCharacterController script to a GameObject.

2. Create a spline using the Spline component. Visit the Spline documentation for more information.

   Tip

   Splines can be modified at runtime to create dynamic paths for your characters to follow.

3. Assign the spline to the SplineCharacterController script.

4. Assign a MotionMatchingController to the SplineCharacterController script.
5. Control the character's velocity by setting the Speed property of the SplineCharacterController script.

Note

Feel free to modify the SplineCharacterController script to suit your needs. For example, you can add a method to set the character's speed based on the distance to the next waypoint.
