How to make a rotating func_train

[twilightsparkl]

I did some searching and I couldn't find any tuts for how to make a func_train other than an elevator with buttons.

Basically I just want a boat the goes in a circular path continously and doesnt stop at the end, and rotates when turning.

not possible.

Improbable, But Not Impossible...

Love that episode of south park.. Im pretty sure you can make a ferris wheel. so wouldn't it be the same concept but laying down?

Kind of like the boat in freedom.bsp? But more complicated.

a func_train can*t rotate the rest is possible. There is a feature vote out there that would make it possible.

I thought the boat in freedom rotated...anyone have a copy of the map file?

The boat is just a 16x16 brush and doesn't rotate.

So changing the angle of a path_corner wouldnt do it? How does it even follow a path anyway? When I set its target to a path corner it just teleports there and doesnt move.

It probably would not be too difficult to add something like this... one of a million more little things to work on.

Click on the "?" in the entity interface, there should be a command like "speed" for a func_train. Maybe your speed or the standard speed is rly fast and it looks like a teleport. Try to lower it.

Lazarus has this in their gamex86, might be a simple port.

Its a little more complicated than that, I'll post this incase anyone else needs to know how to make a func_train: http://panjoo.tastyspleen.net/rust/tutorials/func_train/func_train.html

I thought I had a feature vote for that, but this was the closest I could find: http://dplogin.com/dplogin/featurevote/feature.php?id=10168

@ that*s what i was talking about
