How would i create a non linear 3d side scroller?

i have been trying to find tutorials on how to make a 3d side scrolling game using a circular path, similar to the whispy woods boss in kirby 64. Although wherever i looked all i could only find tutorials on linear 3d side scrollers, i would appreciate any knowledge on how i could achieve this, maybe a link to a tutorial if there is one.

 

bump someone respond please

 

Well, my first thought would be to use splines or bezier curves to create the circular path. There are several free spline solutions on the asset store. A simple spline follower script would take care of any moving objects that need to move around the circle. One of the advantages of this solution is that you could make non-circular paths just as well.

A second, and perhaps simpler solution for if you only wanted a circular path, would be to use

transform.RotateAround(pivot, Vector3.up, DegreesToRotate)

...where DegreesToRotate would be

(the actual distance you want to move) / ((Mathf.Pi * Vector3.Distance(transform.position, pivot)) / 180)

...instead of setting the x and z position of the transform directly.
