this is the end from a different topic:

http://www.snarkpit.com/forums.php?forum=6&topic=3899&2

secondly the button is supposed to move a wall backwards and then to the side (like a hidden entrance). I made the wall a tracktrain and set its first point to where I wnated it to the start. When I made the first point_track, I flagged the disable train. Then I made its second point and its third. so its movement is supposed to be like this:

*then here and back* *here first*

________________________________WALL____________

edit : it wont let me illustrate it correctly but the *here first* is suposed to be directly above the wall not to the left and above it...

so on my last point_track I selected the reverse branch flag. The only problem is, when it spawns it automatically starts moving even tho I thought it was supposed to be disabled. And then it gets into a never ending loop between the third point and the second. Plz help me:

You want the door to open and then stay open, correct?

To do this, what you need is to set the "initial speed" of the train to 0. This way it will start unmoving. Now set only the flag on the LAST path_track to "disable train". You may also need to set the "new train speed" on the first path_track to 0. Now, hopefully when you fire the "start forward" input, your wall will move as you want it to, and stop.

In that case you can set a delayed out put that simply re-enables the train. You could use the path_track outputs and say:

FireOnPass >> Enable; Delay=5

Something like that.
