I get a random image from the net, im not going to use this, but just as example, i want the object to move along the path, following the curve, what is the best way to do it ?

Thanks

Well it depends.

Do you want to calculate this at runtime or in the editor? Do you want to use 2D or 3D?

Runtime or in the editor also ok for me, and … i thought 2D and 3D is perfectly the same in unity, for 2D, just the Y value is fixed.

Please suggest me a method or a keyword for me to study in that direction, i have nothing in my mind at the moment, thanks.

you can use empty objects to set the patch and lennard jones forces to do the curve effect

the end has a high attraction potential, and repulsive forces on the walls so the object wont collide

hope this helps

Splines would be a good choice such as in MegaShapes below.
