======Nearest Spline Point======
Given a [[documentation:splines:curvyspline]] and an [[documentation:components:nearestsplinepoint#source_position|Input Position]], this class will provide you with the nearest point to that position on the given spline.

The nearest point is output via two ways:
  * Setting the position of the [[documentation:components:nearestsplinepoint#target_position|Target Position]] parameter
  * Calling the [[documentation:components:nearestsplinepoint#on_updated|On Updated]] event

This component simply calls the [[https://api.curvyeditor.com/FluffyUnderware.Curvy.CurvySpline.html#FluffyUnderware_Curvy_CurvySpline_GetNearestPoint_UnityEngine_Vector3_UnityEngine_Space_|GetNearestPoint]] method from the CurvySpline class. If you are a programmer, you can simply call the method directly.


==Spline==
The [[documentation:splines:curvyspline]] on which the nearest position is searched for
==Source Position==
A transform which position will be used as the input position for the search
==Target Position==
A transform which position will be updated with the nearest point on [[documentation:components:nearestsplinepoint#spline|Spline]] to [[documentation:components:nearestsplinepoint#source_position|Source Position]]
==Update In==
When to run the search
==On Updated==
At each update, this event is called with the result of the search
