SPLITGATE 2 - Spline Mover Tool

Spline Mover Tool.
This versatile tool was developed to empower Environment Artists and Level Designers to easily create and control dynamic, moving objects in the game world, significantly reducing the need for complex manual animation.
By simply drawing a spline and adjusting a few parameters, artists can bring life to a scene with elements like elevators, flying vehicles, sliding scanner or anything else.

Key features:
- Universal Object Support: Capable of driving any object along the spline, including Static Meshes, Skeletal Meshes, or entire Blueprints with all their components (like lights and effects).
- Flexible Movement Modes: Supports both one-way looping and back-and-forth "ping-pong" motion, allowing for a wide range of applications.
- Smart Orientation & Control:
Optionally align the object's rotation to the spline's direction (ideal for vehicles) or disable it for fixed-orientation movement (like elevators).
Includes a built-in rotation correction to easily fix source assets with incorrect pivot orientations without re-exporting them.
Event-Driven Actions: Artists can place "Action Points" at any position along the spline. These points can trigger a variety of behaviors:
Pause & Wait: Make the object stop for a specified duration (e.g., an elevator waiting at a floor).
External Triggers: Communicate with other Blueprints in the level to create complex, interconnected sequences (e.g., a platform arriving and triggering a bridge to extend).

- Natural Acceleration & Deceleration: The tool automatically handles smooth ease-in and ease-out when starting, stopping at an Action Point, or changing direction, ensuring movement looks believable
