rgoer Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 I've got a stupid little func_train moving back and forth, over and over, between two path_corners. Can I "hold" the train at one of the path_corners until a trigger_multiple is fired off? Or, if that doesn't work, is there some other way to stop, then start back up a func_train?
wedge2211 Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 I don't think so, unfortunately. I've tried several variants of targeting a trigger at a func_train...altough...not targeting it at a path_corner...if you do figure something out I'd be glad to know. If your final map only has those two path_corners, though, and they're in a line along one of the coordinate axes, you would do better with a func_door or func_plat, those you can hold indefinitely at one end.

rgoer Posted July 22, 2003 Author Posted July 22, 2003 Well, the func_train moves diagonally up and forward--rather like some of the func_train lifts in OTS, Wedge--so I couldn't use a func_plat. Bah. Constantly moving lifts, I guess--oh well.

Mr. Chopper Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 What about a func_usable textured with caulk so it's invisible, and when it's turned on it blocks the train's path?
rgoer Posted July 22, 2003 Author Posted July 22, 2003 I tried using func_doors to block the train, but func_trains seem to be able to move through all obstructions besides the player.
Emon Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 I'm pretty sure the path_corner can use something when the train hits it, right? If so, have it target a target_deactivate which targets the train. You could have a timer sharing the targetname of the target_deactivate, which targets a target_activate which can restart the train after a delay. Or you could use a scripted event.
Emon Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 Oh, then without new ents, I think you're boned. Unless there's a delay thing for the path_corner, but that would only work for time.
