Train backwards Created 18 years ago2006-03-09 14:06:57 UTC by boyty01

I ran a quick search on the forums and couldn't find anything. I've set up a train, a func_tracktrain with three prop_dynamics with (combine) train models parented to it. The path_tracks work fine. The only thing that goes wrong is the whole train including the func_tracktrain seems 2 spawn 180 so that the back of the train is in front, which places the func_tracktrain at the back.

The only problem i get with this is that the train doesn't stop where I want it to because the rest of the train is beyond the platform by the time the func_tracktrain reaches the path_track. I know i could solve this by putting the path_track further back but for future reference incase such situation cant be solved with this, what am I doing wrong?

Sorry for the essay.

I'd say, rotate the train 180 degrees in the editor. At least in HL trains had to be oriented towards the right, HL2 doesn't seem to have changed in that habit.

I think it has to be facing east (left in the x-y view)

Actually, I think it's supposed to be facing west.

Edit: Oops, I didn't notice this was for source engine. Don't know if that still applies...
