Follow curved path with dynamic speed
I am looking for a plugin/library/tutorial that would let me have an object follow a curving path and change the speed of the object through scripting.
I have looking into iTween but it does not look like it allows specific speed settings it only eases.
Does anyone know of something that would help?
glance at the Asset Store, there seem to be a number of such packages there

I found my answer here
float Velocity = 1f;
float PathOnePercent = Vector3.Distance(iTween.PointOnPath(path, percentage) , iTween.PointOnPath(path, percentage + 0.1f));
float RealOnePercent = iTween.PathLength(path) * 0.1f;
float Distortion = RealOnePercent / PathOnePercent;
float RealPercentToMove = (Velocity * Time.deltaTime) / iTween.PathLength(path);
percentage = (RealPercentToMove * Distortion) + percentage;
iTween.PutOnPath(gameObject, path, NewPercentPosition);
All you have to do is change velocity over time, it works great.
Sorry, forgot to mention, the curve needs to curve in 3D space not just 2D.
answer there is for one axis of path coordinate. so, for 2D you need to apply it twice, for 3D - triple.
