would it be possible to have The ability to attach Entity's and Lights
to a path.

Ie: have a boat floating in a pond following a path, and be able to
set the path speed as you might want some items to move faster then
others.

Eventually I would like this to be a built-in feature so you can draw out a path and assign any dynamic entity/light to it. For now we will be doing this functionality through scripting (on which the later easier system will sit upon). You could create a script in the latest build right now which can navigate a boat between coordinates, and if you look at the solider script you will see that you can get those coordinates directly from the waypoint system:

-- find initial waypoint path to follow
PathIndex = -1;
pClosest = 99999;
for pa = 1, AIGetTotalPaths(), 1 do
for po = 1 , AIGetPathCountPoints(pa), 1 do
pDX = g_Entity[e]['x'] - AIPathGetPointX(pa,po);
pDZ = g_Entity[e]['z'] - AIPathGetPointZ(pa,po);
pDist = math.sqrt(math.abs(pDX*pDX)+math.abs(pDZ*pDZ));
if pDist < pClosest and pDist < 200 then
pClosest = pDist;
PathIndex = pa;
end
end -- po
end -- pa

Fear not though! I appreciate not everyone in the world is a programmer, and we will be adding plenty of shortcuts and wizards within the IDE to make simply functionality such as following paths a breeze.

this would be good as the current waypoint system is hard to use as they just follow whichever is closest regardless of the "road" you draw

If you start the character ON the node of one of the waypoint paths, they SHOULD follow that path. If this is not the case, it's a bug so please report this one to dave@thegamecreators.com. Thanks!
