I'm having problems with this entity.
I have a camera in my map, called "sitcam".
It follows a func_train called "targ2" which moves in a set of path_corners called "pth1, pth2, pth3"
After some time, i trigger a trigger_changetarget which has theese options:
name: change_view
target: sitcam
KillTarget: targ2
NewTarget: targ3

And I've put a info_target in my map called "targ3"
When I trigger the trigger_changetarget - nothing happens... WHY?? :(

Do you trigger it whilst looking through the camera? Maybe that doesn't work.

Try changing the train's target to a path_corner in the place you want the view to change!(with the teleport flag on in you want it to be instentnios) :| I've heard somewhere that you can't change a trigger_camera's target and then unbreakable said that he uses two cemeras to do things like that! ;) Of course I could be wrong! :(

Yea... I guess I should use another camera or somethin... :
Anywho the train that is the target for the cam (targ2) moves in circles between those 3 path_corners... Maybe theres some way to make it move into another path_corner? I think I've heard of somethin like trigger_changepath or path_changetarget... But I don't see anythin like it in the entity list... :(
Anywho valve did that somehow! When you drove the flatbed in "on a rail", there were those rotating thingies that changed your trains path, when shot at.Any idea on how that was done? :confused:

There's a very obviously-related entity called something like func_tracktrainpathbranch or similar.

Use trigger_changetarget to switch between tracks! :)

Just found it... Func_trackchange.
Has so much options that I won't even try it...
Guess I'll have 2 use another cam.
Thx for the help, anyway :)

No it's not that! It's like those plutforms that when a Func_tracktrain gets to them they spin around and the track changes! :P
