  Thank you so much for the input!

  I am still slow when it comes to this stuff, so it will probably take me a few days to trial and error through your advice, but I am super grateful for the tips.

  I will be sure to post back here if I achieve success.

  Hi guys,

  I am trying to make a simulation that allows a user to draw a track, and then drop a sprite on it that naturally follows the path that the ball moves. Like a rollercoaster where the passengers have no seatbelts, I want the ball to leave the track if it goes too fast over a hump, or leave the track if the ball is moving too slowly on an inverted section.

  I have made some progress thanks to reading some clever posts by R0j0hound, but I am stuck on making the ball follow a loop.

  Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
