Passable today - not passable 2morrow Created 18 years ago2005-07-11 06:01:04 UTC by Daubster

Ok It's like this:
I have a train (func_train) that needs to be passable when i don't need it and not passable, when i need it.
I mean that I have 2 identical trains, just that one has a door for the player to step in. Once the player is inside, the door will close, the train with the door will dissapear and the real train will appear, and start.
Now I've tried doing it with renders, but they only made it invisible, not passable. So is there any other way for this?
Thanks in advance

Kill the train with the kill target value(found in every trigger I seggest using trigger_relay)

How could i have not remembered that??????????
Geez... Thx, Elon....

Aye, yet another problem appeared.
I need a func_train to rotate, when needed. At the path_corners, where the train needs to rotate, I've changed the "new train rot. speed" to 20, but when the paths are passed, nothing happens... How come? (it has an origin brush in it)

Maybe func_trains won't rotate. Consider a func_platrot, perhaps with some cunning invisiblity-ing.

I'll look on that, thanks

Consider a func_platrot...

Wow, what a cool entity, which I've never noticed before! Shame on me for that. This makes available new possibilities...

Thanks Seventh

You could also use Func_tracktrain!!

Fuck_tracktrain has a strange path_track system... : When i place my path_tracks, it always ends up stuck in the ground!

Perculiar origin brush location?

Nice typo ;).

In the tracktrain? It's stuffed in the middle of the train, on its floor and tied to it...

Ok - tracktrain trouble is out... (whoa, "tracktrain trouble"... They begin with T's ) But yet another problem bugs me... Now I've compiled my map, with no errors, nothing bad. It all compiled perfectly... So how come when I run my map on hl, I get this error?

Bad surface extents 7264/0

Whadda fogg does tht mean?

A broken brush, basically. Probably invalid, or geniunely too large.

How could I find it? No errors found...

That's Hammer's "Check for problems"?

yea..

Careful investigation of anything, or random deletion in a copy until it starts working.

I'll try...
