Path Wand

A wand to assist you in creating paths.

The Path Wand helps you visually and interactively define smooth paths for effects like particle trails, animatronic movements, or any sequence-based effect.

This wand is designed to make the creation of spline-based paths simple and intuitive — all from in-game.

🎯 Getting the Wand​

Use the following command to get the wand:

/em wand path

This gives you a special item that lets you place and manage control points in the world.

🛠️ How to Use​

important

Switch the wand mode by clicking F (switch offhand item key).

The wand has four modes:

  • Add Node allows you to add new nodes.

    • Right Click on a location, or right-clicking in the air where the node will spawn at your feet.

  • Delete Node allows you to delete existing nodes.

    • Left Click to select a single node.
    • Shift + Left Click to select multiple nodes.
    • Double Left Click to select all nodes.
    • Right Click to remove the selected nodes.\

  • Move Node where you can select nodes by left-clicking and move them by right-clicking.

    • Left Click to select a single node.
    • Right Click to move the selected node in front of you.

  • Info where you can preview the path and set the path parameter of an effect.

    • Left Click to get a message containing all the information about your path.
    • Right Click to switch the spline type of the preview.
    • Shift + Right Click to change the speed of the preview.

📐 Spline Types​

You can choose how your path behaves by selecting a spline type. Available types:

  • BEZIER: Path goes in an extremely smooth line but doesn't go over each point.
  • CATMULL_ROM: Path goes from point to point in a curved line.
  • POLY: Path goes from point to point in a straight line.

Each type affects how smoothly the path is interpolated between control points.
