Posts: 13 		I'm trying to get my character to pace back and forth in a prison cell, but when directing the movement the multi arrow circle you get for moving is so large it incrouches the space I want the character to walk in. I have tried double clicking the area I want him to move too, but to no avail.

Does any one have any tip and tricks to get movement within confined spaces

Thanks for any help you can give.

This necessarily carries the character a longer distance than may be desired. Further, the tuning circle is limited to avoid foot slippage.

I think back and forwards movement in a confined space is always going to be tough to direct. Perhaps walking in a circle would be easier but have the same dramatic effect... That wouldn't involve all the sop/start animations.
