I was have been scouring the interwebs for information on finding the intersection point of two splines, but it all seems to rely on what language you are using and what software you are using.
anyone have any good resources or info on how to accomplish this task from scratch? or perhaps there is something inside the sdk i am overlooking... -

I think i finally found something by searching for the term "line line interseection" which should work.

after a bit of work i got it working!
