[TUTORIAL] Trains, the easy way.

[wyn10]

Thanks to Tehrasha it now moves finally.

Now I'm trying to figure out why sideways -_-.

 

[Nutomic]

You have to turn either your trains or your whole map by 90 degrees, because tracktrains in source always start in a certain direction.

Dammit thought so.

God I'm having a off day..

 

[BagOfChips]

It works except for adding on pass to the last track train to stopsound; the sound keeps going

 

[lana]

Is the sound set to loop?

 

[BagOfChips]

Ambient generics don't have loop options.

You have to leave Flag 32 unchecked on sounds that loop.

 

[BagOfChips]

I have "Is NOT looped" checked. Uncheck it you say?

 

[lana]

If it's a looping sound, the flag should be unchecked. Keep in mind that, as the article says, StopSound only stops the sound from looping. It does not stop a sound immediately.

Valve is evil!

 

[BagOfChips]

My sounds never stop and my trains only go once

Here's my entities.

My sounds never stop and my trains only go once

Dont use an ambient_generic for the sound, use the 'Move Sound' field on blue_train 1.

train_blue_a2
OnPass blue_train 1 Teleport

Ermm... on the ambient_generic, you want the SOURCE ENTITY NAME (the very bottom field) to be the tracktrain's name.

train_blue_a2
OnPass blue_train 1 Teleport

Bah, the guide looked solid! I'll test this out I guess.

Do you need to anything special for there to be the train kill icon? Because I have the trigger_hurt's damage type set to "train" and nothing occurs (there's also no option for it).

Do you have Boojum's Ultimate Mapping Resource Pack installed?

There should be a separate 'SmartEdit' pull-down option for Train damage.
If you just typed the word 'train' into the normal damage field, it definitely wont work.

 

[lucky]

The damage type should be Freeze (the Train type is if you have ABS' pack as mentioned above installed, which just replaces the names)

Thx for this tutorial. Everything worked smoothly !
P.S. BTW are there any tutorials about train gates/doors and warning lights ? I've tried almost everything but nothing seem to work

 

[Shanghai]

In terms of bells and lights, what outputs should I have on the logic_timer?

 

[mpuone]

How does the train come back?
