Train Connecting to Cars

[FishyUberMuffin]

How can i connect the train cars to follow the main train? I am looking at this Train Tutorial and it doesn't say how to connect the cars up to the train.

Set up multiple func_tracktrains and send them speed changing outputs similatenously (Might use the same name for that)

I just give the other cars the same name as the engine and stretch the func-tracktrain over the new cars. They look fine in-game, but when they're not moving they spawn inside of each other.

I recently solved this problem in my newest map, Terminal.

Set the train cars' parent to the func_train entity.

Remember, trains must face to the right in Hammer.

The func_tracktrain does not have to stretch over the additional cars.

The issue is when the train follows a curved track. Few methods work then.

My track doesn't curve

Then just make all of the brushes for all of the vagons, including the locomotive, part of the func_tracktrain. And parent all of the props to the tracktrain.

Just pretend all the cars are one single prop. If they're all parented to the same func_track_train entity it should be fine.

I did something similar to what BigfootBeto said.
If you want, I can show you pictures and explain further, or you can download my vmf to see for yourself.
