Path Movement allows your characters to move in elaborate ways.

Your movement patterns are made up of a number of points (nodes). These nodes provide a series of stepping stones for your object. Whenever your object is moved, it will jump from node to node.

	Adds a single line to your movement.
	Records a pattern using the mouse. Just hold down the left button, and drag the mouse through your movement sequence.
	Stops your object at the current point, and waits for a specified time interval.
	This repeats the pattern automatically whenever an object reaches the end of the movement sequence. The movement restarts from your object’s existing screen position.
	This feature only takes effect when an object reaches the end of your movement pattern. It turns the object around, and moves it back the way it came.
	Replaces your object at its original starting position after it has completed the movement.

Changing Speed The speed of your object can be altered at each segment of the path.  To alter the speed for one segment, click on the node at the beginning of the line segment. This will make the line segment flash, and the speed can be changed.
