Path Object setSpeed

Hi,
Sort of new, I'm using the setSpeed method on a path object, it works but it when this is called the attached object has its position reset. I tried to call setPosition to force it to move back to its last position, but that won't work.
Suggestions? :)

There isn't much code, I'm just testing this via console.Given an entity anEntity has behaviour EntityBehaviour:
function EntityBehavior::onAddToScene(%this, %scenegraph)
{
%this.owner.enableUpdateCallback();
}Given anEntity is travelling on a path, I do this via console:
$anEntity.getAttachedToPath().setSpeed($anEntity,10);Upon calling this line, the entity resets to its original position.

@Michael - This is interesting. I think that may be the intended behavior, even if it is not ideal. I will see if I can find some code that might fit what you need, but I have not worked with path objects in a long time. Might take a day or two. If you have not resolved this or heard back from me in a couple of days, just bump this thread to remind me.

Overdue bump, Michael did you resolve this?
