Question

What is the best way to implement waypoints?...I'd need "fire" waypoint from a boat at a certain distance ( image bellow ) and change boat rotation ( and speed) in every "shooted" waypoint for the possibility do the corners.
Thank all for help

Answer 1

For this case, maybe a Path2D can help, then you can use a PathFollow2Ds to set the position of the waypoint areas changing the offsets, should be easy to edit this way.

You can do this with a single PathFollow2D too or just using the curve and some points/distance you set in another way.

Thank you very much eons,
and that's the great solution...any chance how I get the position of the individual Path2D points...
i'll get to them?......i thought it could be ( Path2D points ) directly as a target for a boat or spaceship and waypoint for rotation(faceing) and changing speed...just an idea......more on image bellow

If you use PathFollow2Ds you can get a position when changing the offset.

If using just the Path2D, you will need to work on the Curve2D (get_curve).
You can get a point position or the position based on an offset (distance from the origin of the curve), I think all the points on the curve are relative to the Path2D, so, keep that in mind when checking position.

Look at the Curve2D documentation for more details http://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_curve2d.html

Thank you very much eons....I will go this way

Answer 2

either an array of vector2 positions or place a bunch of node2ds and iterate through them :)

Thanks , I have this ,but I'm still looking for another and maybe a better solution like spawning "shooting" waypoints from boat.
