Hi…,

I want that the z-axis of my PathFollow aligns always to the Path in Godot 3.3.2.stable.

A) Rotation Mode "Y": The rotation first works, but for the second time, when I set the PathFollow back to unit_offset = 0, the current y rotation is not set back, and just added. Not nice.

So I tried

B) Rotation Mode "Oriented": This seams to work, from unit_offset 0.0 to 0.999, the z-axis of the PathFollow is aligned to the Path correctly. But at unit_offset 1.0 suddenly the x-axis is aligned to the path. This seams like a bug.

Please can a developer take a look.

What to do?

Thanks

Mike

I’ve found bug reports about this:

PathFollow 3D erratic rotations / wobbling / twitching · Issue #3713 · godotengine/godot · GitHub

Path (3D) seems to make a wrong rotation · Issue #27137 · godotengine/godot · GitHub

curve3d /pathfollow rotation modes not working · Issue #36258 · godotengine/godot · GitHub

Seams PathFollow is not usable at this stage. Or have I missed something?
