Hammer path tool Created 15 years ago2009-10-18 17:30:51 UTC by DiscoStu

Does anyone ever use it? I never quite got the hang of it and now I've decided to experiment with it.

I made an test map with a func_train following a path of path_corners set to "circular", however when the func_train gets to the last node before starting over it just stops.

Am I doing something wrong, or there is no way to make a func_train continuously run around the path without stopping?

Path tool never worked, AFAIK. You need to make the path_corners point to each other. Make sure "wait for retrigger" Isn't checked, either.

It does work, just not well enough. I guess it's time to go back to placing path_corners then.

Edit: Just tested and works perfectly with individual path_corners. Also, I find that when the map loads, the func_train is already at about the 3rd path node. What is this?

Maybe you accidentally wrote "3" after the name of the path instead of "1"
I dunno.

I'm sure I didn't. I could upload the test map if you want to take a look.

Nah, I'm not too good at trains.

The path tool has definitely been reported as buggy/broken multiple times. As tedious as placing each path_track manually is, I'm afraid it's the only "safe" way to do it for now.

HLFix fixes the path tool.
