Hello everyone. This is my first post, so I apologize if this has been covered somewhere before. But, I create a path of about 20 points. I set an object to follow the path. I set the object starting position to face the next point in the path. For the most part, the object follows the path, pointing in the direction of travel. But, it will at various points, pause, rotate about the point, facing numerous directions before straightening up and then proceeding to the next point. It is like it is confused and is having trouble keeping it's bearing in the path. Any ideas?

Yes there is a function in DarkAI that sets the behaviour of an entity patrolling a path. I don't have DarkAI installed but if you look through the documentation on patrolling/path following, it'll tell you how to alter the behaviour to make it just follow the path without rubber necking on the way.

thanks for the tip. I did notice however, if the points are far apart, the object does not seem to 'rubberneck', as you put it.
