How to orient object to road/itweenpath

Questions & Answers
1

hi everyone,

I have designed a roller coaster path with easyroads3d and itweenpath. Although I have implemented position update and lookAt functionalities(I update the position with itween.pointonpath function and look direction with transform.lookat function), I couldn’t make the object orient the local rotation around y/z axis. How can I set the local up and local forward vectors? I just wanted to set the forward(but in local) vector as pointpositionforward-pointposition and right(but in local) vector as pointposition2-pointposition. I hope I make myself understood. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

if you are using iTween.MoveTo function you could try one of it’s parameters called ‘orienttopath’ it should automatically rotate your object to face the path. Example:

 iTween.MoveTo(gameObject,
            iTween.Hash("path",  iTweenPath.GetPath(data.path.pathName), "time", data.pathTransitionTime, "orienttopath",true));
