Can an actor follow a preset path?

I'd like an actor to follow a preset path (but not just a straight line) like an insect flying or maybe like the boats that move in harbour master.

Is that possible in GS?

    No! GS doesn't have path, unless you done it by yourself!

    Yes, I've done this with waypoints.

    So you .MoveTo a succession of pre-determined points?

    Yes, basically... but i don't use moveTo, and since there are no arrays there is no such thing as "a set of predetermined points..." you have to use actors.

    Please excuse my newbie ignorance.

    First the silly question. How do you get the moving object to fly towards other actors?

    Secondly, how is the rotation done? I am trying to build a game where insects fly around but they need to rotate in the direction they are flying in.

    Any help most appreciate.
