well, the most basic way i guess is func_train

can you do that with a texture ?

I thought it was models only ????

Just make your "flying object" out of brushes and tie the entire thing to a func_tracktrain and have it folow a path of path_tracks

Easy enough.

If your talking about 'just like a texture that moves' its a sprite.

if you cant be bothered to find or make one, do as muzz said.

well i want the object to fly on a slight bend can I do this with func_tracktrain ?

Yes. The more path_tracks you have, the smoother the bend.

yep, if you set it up correctly it should fly correctly.

Then you're doing something wrong. Goto the Valve Developer Wiki to find out how to correctly setup a func_tracktrain.

well.. i mean it's not exactly.. impressive.. But it's not bad.

Definately needs more detail than just a hollowed out brush.
oh, and stop double posting.

Really?

On a side note. It's good to know there's another stargate fan out there!
