    is it possible to lock a character in a path, and control it while on it?
    the screenshot might explain it better ;) Untitled-31.png

    I haven't tried it, but I don't think so, as the idea of the path is to have an asset or character follow it without having to control it. With that said, you can make your character jump off or away from the path and it will then be attracted back towards the path depending on how strong you have the path attraction set to - that might spur off some different gameplay ideas.

    Thanks Phill,
    yeh, played with the path attraction and other variables that will attract the character back into the path, but looking for something way more simple - move-left-button = character moves left on path. doesn't seems possible so far on BB.
