Cubic interpolation tends to follow the curves better, but linear is faster (and often, precise enough).

Sets the tilt angle in radians for the point "idx". If the index is out of bounds, the function sends an error to the console.
- The tilt controls the rotation along the look-at axis an object traveling the path would have. In the case of a curve controlling a [PathFollow], this tilt is an offset over the natural tilt the PathFollow calculates.

The distance in meters between two adjacent cached points. Changing it forces the cache to be recomputed the next time the [method get_baked_points] or [method get_baked_length] function is called.
