    Hi, all!
    First of all, sorry if this question should have been posted somewhere else.

    Here it is : I have an idea about using splines to create tank tracks. Which means that, in runtime
    1 - Objects must be cloned along the splines and be able to follow them,
    2 - The splines themselves must be edited to adjust to terrain.

    In the asset store I have found "Path Creator" which looks very nice ( the "Vertex Paths" are very attractive for me ) but I don't know if the paths can be edited at runtime.
    Can you answer that question or recommend other assets that would meet my requirements?

    Thanks in advance,
    Thierry

    I don't think I'd personally pay for Path Creator since, in reviewing the store page for a moment, I don't see anything it does that isn't also available free from elsewhere.

    I've mostly used the Surge plugin for splines (https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/surge-107312). It can do everything I saw in the demo video for Path Creator, and it's free.

    There's also Unity's internal Splines package. I've never used it before, but it looks decent:
