Comment on Silverlight Serializer (New Version 2!) by Joost van Schaik

Well, version 2 has about 70+ errors in WinRt, Version 1 about 30. Have been poking around this but there does not seem to be an easy fix. You do all of advanced reflection stuff that does not seem to be supported.

Allright I will try this
Thanks for the reply

It doesn’t automatically move the object BTW – it just returns you a Vector3 (and optionally a rotation)

Actually I think MoveOnPath is the easier and more controlled routine – you provide it with a speed and it moves that fast on the path (or towards it if the object is currently distant).

Basically it says move a maximum of speed per second along the path.

Yep thanks for the quick reply,
I need to dig a bit more to really now how to do that.
I think i’ll use InterpConstantSpeed cause I don’t have much control with MoveOnPath.
If i’m right MoveOnPath is automatic right ?

You could measure the distance that has been moved since the last transform (which is likely to be less than “speed” on the last node) then use the difference between this and speed in a call to follow the second path, reverting to normal “speed” thereafter.

Yeah should probably Mathf.Clamp01() that t value – think I’ve added that in my code.

Yep I thout about this,

if(t > 0.99f)
move to next path

but I’m quite sure that if bad framerate append it will bug the thing, cause when “t > 1″ the script throw an error, which is normal I guess

Well using MoveOnPath when you reach the end of a path you should be able to start the next – the only thing might be that you will want to speed to remain constant between the two parts. I’ll think about it
