func_train problem Created 19 years ago2004-10-17 14:14:07 UTC by satchmo

Making an elevator is usually a simple task. I've done it many times before. But I am baffled by a problem with this particular lift I am building.

When I run the map, the lift disappears. When I trigger the lift, I can hear the sound effect of the lift, so I know it's being triggered. I checked the positions of the path_corners multiple times, but the elevator remains invisible. I even made a complex elevator shaft, in case some other brush is in the way of its path. But it's still not there.

After troubleshooting at it all morning, I gave up. I searched the forum, but no one else seems to have this problem.

Can anyone offer any suggestions on what might be the problem? I greatly appreciate any tips.

Render modes..?
No idea, tbh, upload it to the vault.

Check the origin brush on your func_train. Make sure it still has the origin texture.

Good idea, missing origins (easy to forget) can make trains go crazy.

If not, running in OpenGL?

Actually, it wasn't a missing texture. I never figured out why it wasn't working, but I just deleted my setup and restarted from scratch. It's working now.

Many thanks to the people who contributed their ideas, nevertheless.
