If you are moving along the x axis (forward from your characters point of view), then all you need to do is adjust the Z axis. This might be the long way to do it, but it wil work never the less.

var currentPath : int;
var distBetweenPaths : float = 10.0f; // distance between each path, assuming that all paths have equal distances

function Start()
{
	currentPath = 2 // if you have 3 paths, then number 2 will be the middle one. Set your player on this path to begin with
}

function Update()
{
	if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.S)  currentPath > 1) // currentPath is either 2 or 3
	{
		transform.position.z -= distBetweenPaths;
		currentPath--;
	}

	if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W)  currentPath < 3) // currentPath is either 1 or 2
	{
		transform.position.z += distBetweenPaths;
		currentPath++;
	}
}

Then you would probably use game objects and send the player to each object. Assuming this path will be permanent. I’m not familiar with pathfinding though so I’m not 100% sure if thats the right way to go.

EDIT: I will try and figure out a solution when I get home and share it with you.
