Itween and way points

Recently, I received a monthly newsletter from Unity. These usually contain updates about the new engine, new games that came out using Unity and any other general news. This last one contained a link to an updated plugin for Unity, Itween. Itween has alot of cool things you can do, anything from making movement stupid simple, to controlling music and sound better etc. Originally I was going to try this out over the course of a couple of days. Get a feel for it and maybe change over to it to make my life a bit easier.

Well....
You can only use plugins with the Unity Pro license. Which we have not gotten to purchasing yet. That'll come later.

But! One of the features that Itweens contained that got me thinking about a bit of optimizing and bug proofing was the way points movement feature. Which is pretty much as it sounds. You have two points, the computer interprets the path between them and the object moves along them. So what I've begun to do is experiment with way points that are more customized towards our needs for Pod & Rodney.
