in my attempts to work on my map: PL_cooler. I have run into a bug that I cannot fix... where in game, the cart is on its head, and stuck.

I still don't know why images don't seem to work for me

What are the settings on your phys_constraint, func_tracktrain and path_tracks?

Hmm, I don't see any issues with these settings.

Given the number of entities involved in a payload cart's setup, the issue could be with any one of them. The best way to debug something complicated like this is to deconstruct it piece by piece until the error goes away, or reconstruct it piece by piece until the error shows up.

For instance, in a scenario like this, I would start with two brand new path_tracks and a func_tracktrain that's just a simple visible brush with constant speed. Is it behaving properly?
If it is, try adding a few more path_tracks that make the path turn. Is it still working now?
After, try adding and connecting the cart model and seeing if it still works.
Then I'd hook it up to a control point so the speed varies and see if everything is still working.

The key is to test each bit piece by piece until you've isolated the error.


Or if you feel like posting your .vmf, I'd be willing to take a look at it.

Click to expand...

the ironic thing is... the cart works. it just doesn't move, the dispenser, the sparks, and the set up is functional... im just clueless on how the cart flipped like that... then again I had a green trail path_track one, and that was when it worked... upon remove it... it stopped working
