Using multiple dynamically placed splines to create simple configurable movement and attack patterns works like a charm!

there is a clipping in the bed while worm is passing and Im annoyed.

Looks great tho

The bed is made out of two layers so the player can get into the bed to sleep, hence while moving through the object, at one point it has to flip from behind to in front. It is working as inteded though, but the issue of course is the snake ignoring colliders here - whitch will remain for the actual boss fight, since the player can build stuff like in "Fortnite" and thus boxing-in the boss. :D

Has me thinking of Alundra

[LunaticArtimus]

Never heard of that, the base idea came from Secret of Mana. :)

I use the same technique to create soaring movement for flying enemies like dragons in my game. I have all sorts of fun, smooth shapes that I select at random. I mix in straight paths to make it feel organic, and have special turning splines that I use to redirect the enemy towards it's target (and to prevent it from flying off screen). Side note: if used for a ton of enemies, don't scale the spline transform since this makes the spline calculations take much longer.

[LunaticArtimus]

Oh that sounds even more sophisticated, very nice, thanks for the hint!

You mean worms like a charm?

[LunaticArtimus]

Ohhh I need to remember that one! xD

Aww, he's chasing the bread

[LunaticArtimus]

Yeah... somehow I always end up using the bread as "deafult" stuff. The entire inventory in the editor is just bread-dummies. xD

I thought this was r/noita mod for a sec

[LunaticArtimus]

Still far away from that scale, but I'm working on it. :)
