Movers are an easy one for me! I experiment with different types all the time, but the only mover that I can't get to work out of the 4 I've tried to use, is the loop mover.
I can get it to continuesly move, but I can't get, let's say, a platform to have 4 keyframes and each key frame moves the mover in a square pattern. If I tried to make that, the platform would go in a square, then back out of it backwards through the square and continuelly doing that instead of consantly making the square pattern. If you had no idea of what I just said, that's okay.
I don't really understand your question BIO, but it may be because of how "naab" ish I am with mapping, but I have some neat ideas!
