i'm attempting to suspend some combine_balls that will float around in a func_train and can be picked off and shot with the grav-gun, i can't figure out how to make a func_train in hl2:dm

i searched but couldn't find any topics related so here it is

How about using a func_tracktrain? The func_train seems to be unavailable by default, but that Valve Wiki page tells you how to add it to the .fgd file.

No, it's available in all Source games. HL entities don't have outputs, either. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Weird though, that you can't find them in the list. Just to be sure, you are checking the brush-based entities, right? Otherwise, perhaps the .fgd file is messed up a bit?

combine balls can behave strangely if they hit the surface of a moving func_tracktrain (they bounce in unexpected directions for me). Just so you're warned <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

found the wiki's and i thought i added it but it still doesn't show up on my list, not sure what i'm doing wrong

and reaper- the balls will start on the track, will it still cause odd behaviors?

I honestly don't know. It's just something I noticed when building a brush-based func_tracktrain elevator for multiplayer. When I shoot a combine ball down the shaft and it hits the elevator it doesn't bounce up, it moves almost horizontally. I think the elevator doesn't even have to move.

Maybe I just build a weird elevator <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

so i went to this folder:
C:Program FilesValveSteamSteamAppsfatstringssourcesdkbin

then copied the script for func_train into the base file

is that not what i'm supposed to do?
