Get a train on a spinning platform Created 18 years ago2005-08-13 05:18:26 UTC by Half-dude

Hey all, its me Half-dude!

You all remimber that scene in the tram level of HL1 were the train goes down this spinning elevator while the announcement system talks about no smoking and stuff right? Well I ras wondering if you guys know any tutorials that explain how to do this. I've looked and found none. I've done this before with just putting a path_track right above the one before but with that you can hear the train sounds, rather then... ummm... not.

What do you mean by the train's sound? The train movment sound or the speaker's sound? : If it's the speaker then they just made it play every where! And if you mean the train's movment sound then did you make two trains move in the same time with the same sound for I think I read in tommy's page that if you will do it you won't be able to hear the sounds!

erm....Elon i think he was talking about the trains that went onto a track platform and rose up. Or at least part of his question was that.

There's an entity that does this. I proposed doing this ages ago before official proposing came into effect but i never ended up doing it. It jst slip by...

You'll need to use a func_trackchange and set it up so that it moves upwards. Its works kinda like a rotating platform entitys but works with trains instead of players. And has a number of differences.

EDIT: I guess you should take a look at the entity guide for more imformation on this

Yup, and to mamke it rotate you can make it spin around a certain axis, check the flags for the axis.

Ohhh...I get it!

Dude, I said func_platrot, or if your classy, look up the VERC tut

And stop announcing yourself you shit! jk

Thanks 38_98 I'll look up func_trackchange.
