Is there anyway I can make an item move with a conveyor? Simply putting it on the conveyor does nothing.

maybe using a trigger_push?
This and so many other issues are no longer a problem with Source!!! :P

I would use a func train, or you could even make the item a func_door and set the speed to a snail's pace.

Or just add the item to the conveyor itself.

Sounds simple enought. WC Dude, did you do that, or just set the item on top of the func_conveyor and expect it to move? I've never used tried adding something to a conveyor so I really don't know... The only thing I know for sure is it push/pulls Gordon nicely.

conveyers usually push stuff on them if set up correctly, just make sure it is set to have some push(look at its options), and that the things you want to push are func_pushables, or func_trains if you want to get more complicated.

Here's what I got set up:

A conveyor with tons of hev suits on it, constantly moving them(they would be teleported back to the front at the end). So trains are out of the question. But I'll give the push a shot. Can't believe I didn't tink of that earlier though.

All right, it doesn't work. I have come to the conclusion that you cannot push items. I'll try to make HEV suits out of World brushes then.

I'll give it a go today too.

Teh only thing I can get to move on the conveyor are monster_barneys. Items, weapons don't work.

Worldcraft dude: I would use a texture with transparency, like this one

I dont know how close the player will get to those suits, but maybe it helps

They will be right there at the suits, so textures wouldn't work. But maing a world suit is next to impossible so I am using crates instead.
