# Paths
The "Paths" feature can be used to create predetermined paths for objects to traverse. Special objects, such as the train, can allow the player to enter and then begin traversing the path
#### Creating Paths
In Edit Mode, go to the *Paths* tab.
Type the name for your new path and click the "+" icon to start editing.
To create the path, click or drag along surfaces in the scene. Blue markers will appear at each checkpoint.
* To finalize, press ENTER or click the confirm button. To cancel, press ESC or click cancel.
Adjusting Paths
Once created, select your path from the dropdown menu to adjust its settings. A green line will indicate your path.
#### Moving Objects Along Paths
1. Under *Object to Move*, select the object from the dropdown and click "To Start" to place it at the start of the path.
2. Use *Preview* to see the object in motion.
3. Adjust the traversal time (in seconds) for the object to complete the path.
4. Use *Offset* to reposition the object if it clips through surfaces.
#### Moving Object at Experience Time
To control an object's movement along a path during experience time, use the Paths state action.
1. In the rules or scenario flow, add a *Paths* state action.
2. Use the *Run* action to start moving the object along the selected path or *Stop* to halt its movement.
3. Choose the specific path to manipulate from the dropdown menu.
This allows objects to dynamically start or stop moving on their paths based on in-experience conditions.
