Sets the cursor position to given distance. For relative distance, see PathFollower:MoveCursor.
PathFollower:MoveCursorToClosestPosition( Vector pos, number type = 0, number alongLimit = 0 )
Moves the cursor of the path to the closest position compared to given vector.
PathFollower:MoveCursorToEnd()
Moves the cursor to the end of the path
PathFollower:MoveCursorToStart()
Moves the cursor to the end of the path
PathFollower:ResetAge()
