# Follow a path [Back to Use gameplay actions](https://rustic-game-engine.pages.dev/markdown/guides/gameplay-actions.md). `Path.create(points, kind)` supports `Linear`, `Bezier`, `CubicBezier` (exactly four control points), `CatmullRom`, and `Spline` (uniform Catmull-Rom). Bezier supports up to 32 control points. Other paths allow 2–4096 points. Linear/spline paths use each starting point's easing for the following segment. Bezier uses the first point's segment easing for its single curve span. Follow [Set up gameplay actions](https://rustic-game-engine.pages.dev/markdown/guides/gameplay-actions/setup.md) before running this Lua example. ```lua return { Start = function() local patrol = Path.create({ { point = Vector3(0, 0, 0), easing = Ease.OutQuad }, { point = Vector3(10, 0, 0), easing = Ease.InOutCubic }, { point = Vector3(20, 5, 0), easing = Ease.InSine }, }) Path.follow(rustic.entity_id(), patrol, { duration = 8, easing = Ease.InOutSine, loop = true, pingPong = true, orientToPath = true, }) end } ``` Whole-path easing and per-segment easing alter traversal, not geometry/control points. Speed-based paths use an approximate arc-length table; segment easing can still accelerate/decelerate locally. Looping repeats the traversal; a closed geometric loop requires matching endpoints. Ping-pong reverses at endpoints. `orientToPath` faces local -Z along the tangent. Coordinates are local to the object's parent. Choose Catmull-Rom or Spline for smooth corners; segment curves provide local acceleration/deceleration without moving control points.
