===Uses of Splines===

Splines are curved lines which can be used a mark out a path for [[Add a Camera|cameras]], [[Add an NPC|NPCs]] or become part of the level scenery. It is also possible to create a joined list of straight lines using the Spline tool.

===Placing a Spline===

To add a Spline to the scene click the spline icon [[File:ToolsMenu09.png|link=]] on the [[Tools Menu|Tools Menu]] and the cursor will change to a sphere. Move it to the position of the first node of the spline and click to place it. Move to the next position and click to place another node. Repeat until all points are placed then click the ''Stop Placing'' button at the top of the ''Properties'' window or press the [Esc] key.

The Spline window will open when a Spline is added or selected. It will have two tabs:

[[#General Tab|General]] - sets general object properties such as node positions

[[Actions Tab|Actions]] - sets up actions for the spline

Spline nodes can be moved by using the [[Gizmos|Move Gizmo]], or by manually editing the position values in the ''General'' tab. Clicking on a spline node will make it the current node and the Gizmo and Properties will apply to that node.
