how do i make a boat using func_traintrack. I need the boat to rest in the water. I don't want to have anytype of user control. Just a preset path with speed changes at new trackpath corners. When I compile this test. The train brush disappears??

did you look under the water? i've never tried to make a boat on water, because i've been told it's impossible as the moving entity cannot rest on top of the water entity, it's simply not possible. what i would advise you to try, is to use an animated texture for the water (www.google.com)and simply clip the sides of the boat so the player can't leave until he get's to the "shore"

I have succesfully made a boat on water...all i did was put the origin on the ocean/lake floor instead of as part of the boat. Just put the origin just above the floor and each times the boat resets it will be on top. I also believe that func_tracktrain requires user controles but func_train does not need it. Just use func_train
Set it up with an ORIGIN and check the entity guide for Func_tracktrain.
