Drag the train, and it only moves along the line. Get it to the end of the line, and the ticket prints.

Follow the Path is a drag with a route. The viewer's finger has to travel along a line you draw, and when it gets far enough, your actions run.

It's also how you make a swipe. There's no separate swipe trigger - a straight path with two points is a swipe.

That's Follow the Path. Want a reveal waiting at the end of the route? The Mask video shows you how. See you in the next one!
