How to Make a Grind Rail - Ratchet & Clank Inspired | Unreal Engine
In this Unreal Engine tutorial, I show you how to create a grind rail system that allows your character to move along a spline at a constant speed. The character follows the rotation of the spline, so you can have it follow bends and twists and even loops. Overall, I think this is a good example of how to use a spline.
You can download the blueprint for the spline here -
