I have browsed around a few tut websites and I was wondering how you make moving skys, like in the Op4 intro - I am making a map situated on a massive plane and I cant figure out how to get the sky to move. I have tried getting Conveyors to do it but I just cant figure it out. Any ideas?

Op4 used cliffs all grouped as func_trains, teh path corners were laid out perpendicular to teh aircraft, and just moved past.
the sky never moved, as this can't be done.
a clever trick they used was to use small models of the apache and teh alien fighters, to give the impression of distance.

Hmmm... Nice. Didnt realise that. Ok new question:
How do you get conveyers to work??? I've been bashing at this for a good 30 mins now lol.

EDIT: I've got the convayor to work but the texture wont move, Is the convayor texture the only specific one that moves and what is it called?

apparently, not all textures can scroll (although i've managed it somehow, don't ask lol), teh texture needs to have scroll_ as teh start of it's name,
open your texture in wally and rename it, if that doesn't work, use a scrolling texture, ie a pre-made not yours texture taht starts with scroll_texturename

In the OP4 intro the rocks are made with func_trains and func_rotating.
You can use it if you have to make something similar (i.e. a canyon)
A func_conveyor can be good if your plane is on the open sea, using a water scrolling texture.

I have already made the harder part of my map - expect me to post it soon.
Its a train where the rails move giving the impression that the train is moving.
Its set in a XEN enviroment.

That's about as close to moving 'skies' as you're gonna get. Otherwise, you can wait till Half-Life 2 comes out.
