kind of, lol.

try path_tracks...
It turns the train the direction of the path_track

it does! ok, I'll try it.

If u use a lot of path_tracks then u can make the action a lot smoother

It isn't working, heres what it looks like,

Da Train pictures are at my website.

please help!

and pathcorners??

I think a path_track would solve that...

I am using path_tracks.

Hello? I still need help.

anyone their?

helloooooooooo!!!!!!!?????????

I spent a whole weekend on the first part of that map and trying to get it to work, so please help me>

I'll cry!

NOBODY has yet said "Func_tracktrain" -so I just did.
Actually, I've built afew mine carts myself... You want to use func_tracktrains. The ONLY problem with them I've had is that if you want them to start all by themselves, you must have them start at the time the map starts. -ie, if you want to have to "activate" a func_train after the game has started, you will have to changelevel to a new map. -See the mesa transit trains in at the start of OpFor.

-But other than that, you can build quite a fun coaster-style mine cart ride... with about a hundred path_tracks, that is.

Like I said up there JB

but when I make a func_tracktrain, it doesn't even appear!
AH! I am getting fustrated with HL mapping!!!

Welcome to the club! Stick with it though, you'll get it. The func_tracktrain not appearing just means you are missing something. Does it have an origin brush? Are you using path_tracks? The func_tracktrains use those instead of path_corners. If mapping was easy, TWHL wouldn't be necessary.

if TWHL wasn't here, mapping would be ten time harder. I'm going to fool around with it a little and see if it works, and great job on Minimicus, one of the only full MODs in the map vault, lol.

AH! Still don't work! could someone make me an example map of a tracktrain with track so I can firgure out WTH I'm doing wrong? please?

:confused: I'll cry! :confused:

I would if I new how the hell to post a map- i'll try though-- give me till tuesday, I'll have one done.

Nice colorcoding too, d00de!

Im gona look at it now, thnkyeah!

Did u use an origin brush?

U gotta use a funv_tracktrain, following path_tracks and the train must have an origin brush

I got it now! THnks to Gopher mealies. They help lower my colestral and only have 2 grams of fat! and they taste so good! I will recamend Gopher mealies to anyone at anytime! I don't know what I would do without them at my side! Made from real gopher!

side affects may include drowzyness, stupidity, diareah, nausia, dry or scratchy throut, severe mental vomiting, baldness, normal vomiting, thinking you are a gopher, refusing to use correct spelling in an ad, and in very rare cases, Death.

(I got it because of Zombies example map.)

I got an example map done called "Traintrack" check it out.
