Monsterous multi_manager problem

Ok, I've drawn a picture of this in paint to aid my explanation - I've got 6 func_trains, each with its own path_corner in the middle of it, and one path_corner called egon_home which is each of the func_trains first stop. When the multi_manager is triggered, I want the 6 stones to go to their respective path_corner. The problem is I have one path_corner with only one first stop - so I can't target each of the func_trains in turn. Anywhoo, heres the picture:

Youre going to need to put 6 path_corners in the exact same spot, 1 for each stone, so you can set each stone to go to their respective destinations.

It sucks I know, but theres no way around it that I know of

Thats the last ressort wil5on

Its the only resort Matt.

Gollum might be able to help - he knows complex entity problems inside out.

Until he shows up, lets stop spamming this board.

Ok then.

Gollum has been away for quite some time I'm afraid, dunno when he'll show up again. Is this for a contest entry? If it is I wouldn't wait around for a reply.

I think Wilson is right though, I can't see anyway to set this up other than piling up unique path_corners. Are there any entities that allow you to change any setting of another entity? If so (I believe SOHL might allow this) you could probably set it up using that, but I imagine you would need one of these for each func_train, thereby piling up more entities anyway. You might as well just use 6 different path_corners, its the most straightforward, albeit slightly clumsy, solution.

if this setup is supposed to work the way i think you want it to work, wouldn't it be simpler to have six func_doors all starting where the egon_home path corner is, and have differing lip values, so that they move to their respective positions?

I think you might be righ ReNo.

I hadn't really thought about the overall effect, but now I do, I think Fishy has the best answer. It will only require 6 entities (each door) that way, and trains are notorious for being awkward in deathmatch while doors are probably more reliable.

The door idea would be a lot easier on the game.
