Character moves along pre-defined path / curve

Questions & Answers
1

I’m making a yet-another-endless-run game. I know how to make my character ( which is now a cube with Rigid Body component attached ) moves along axis and changes its moving direction by Arrow keys.

However, moving in straight line is boring. Therefore I would like to add some curves to the road, such as this:

But how do I make my characters to follow the path? I search in Google, Unity Answers, Unity Asset Store & the forum, and found these:

but seems all of these are pathfinding algorithms. I just want the user moves in a certain curve instead of straight line. Did I miss out other code sample or tutorial ?

Create a container object. Add your Runner in this container object. Make container object follow your curved path (itween or whatever).
You can move Runner horizontally using a script and it will still look like he’s running because the container object is following the path.

Does it make sense? Clarify in comments. :slight_smile:
