func_train problem

Hey all,

Ive got my intro tram ride finally working well, but a moment after the tram starts moving it stops moving but keeps playing the moving sound. It's like somethings in its way, but brush based entitys can go through other brush based entitys. what do you thinks happining?

hmm...ive run into the occasional "invisible" brush from hell....i have no idea where they come from or wtf causes them....but i trim the area back to the wanted wall space and it seems to go away....dont know if that helps, but hey...what do i know. might actually be something else in the way....

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

Just a shot in the dark, but maybe you should thack your track_corner's or whatever they are called.

This isn't a solution to the problem... typing stopsound into your console will cut the looping sound off. Bind it to a key and it'll never trouble you long.

This may be a solution to the problem... what type of entity are you using? When certain entities (such as a func_door) run into players they will bounce back to the start and that is typically when a sound will loop forever and ever. Does the tram only not work when people ride it? This shouldn't happen with a func_train though, since it will move people along rather than bouncing back.

Have you got something re-triggering itself? So that when the func_train starts its re-trigerred and stopped. This happened to me when I gave the same name to my button that started the train as the name of the func_train.

i had a problem once, where a train was being stopped by a mini-turret. the turret wasn't directly in front of the train, but in the roof and a little to the side.

so maybe you have a solid point entity nearby?

come to think of it, I do have a alien slave and a contructon model right next to and to the side of were it stops... hmmm...

here are a list of entitys I'm using for my train

*func_track_train (du)

*path_track

*trigger_auto -delay set to 5.8

And one more thing, can anyone tell me how to get my train to stop for a desired time then move again?

At the appropriate path_corner, tick the flag "wait for retrigger". The train will stop until you trigger it [the train] again. Alternatively, at the same path_corner, use the "wait here (secs)" key to specify a pause of that length.

your right FISHY there was a non-wanted func_breakable near by. thx dude
