Hello,
how can I make it that my character follows a spline and can move to the left or to the right, when I press “A” or “D”?

Until now the only thing my character can do is move along the spline and jump a little bit.

I want to run parallel to the spline (not only away from it).

Break return value of Get Location at Distance Along Spline and only pass a X value (if u only move in this direction), make with rotations is more hard. Maybe u need think in more splines to switch characters between splines.

How can I switch between three or more splines with only two buttons?

Thank you for the help. Now I hopefully can program my little game.

Hi Ernie - I’m also trying to get my player to follow a path but I’m having trouble with the tutorial posted above by s4ng3r. If you got your character following the path is there anyway you could either upload a sample file or else some hd screenshots of the blueprints?
