MPs that follow the marble
USAGE:
Use this code to create a new type of MP, PathedFollow. This MP should have initialTargetPosition set to 0 and two nodes in its path, which then should move along one dimension. Set smoothing to linear with a relatively short msToNext. Add the following properties to the MP:
dimension: The dimension of movement (0 = x, 1 = y, 2 = z)
initialPos: The coordinate in this dimension of the first node
finalPos: The coordinate in this dimension of the second node
velocity: The difference between these two divided by msToNext, i.e. platform's velocity in TU/ms
offset: The coordinate of the platform's center relative to its defined origin (usually 0 for square MPs, but not always)
The MP will then slide along this dimension to follow the marble. Floor-like MPs can be moved back and forth at will, and wall-like MPs will block you from passing.
