A Need For An Edit Path Feature

We are currently making a side scroll shooter called Arena Front. For this game, it would be helpful if game editor had a feature to edit paths on the go instead of removing/re-adding the paths to edit them. Am I missing something or is this feature only available on the purchased version.

In the current version you need to remove and add paths in the editor.

Did I not say that? My point was that this needs to be changed...

If you click and drag the yellow circles in a path, you can change the direction and if you drag the orange circle in a path, you can drag the whole path from where you made it to somewhere else, like in some kind of "pathbox" you create using actors that will never enter the view. By changing name and speed of path, that should be added yes.

One way of editing path length/speed for paths that lead offscreen, is to make it longer than it needs to be, and have the last dot far away. Then you can always move that dot closer or farther, thus changing the length/speed of the visible part of the path. Especially good for shooting games where enemies fly past.
