Jerky train...

I made a train out of brushes and made them func_tracktrains and when it moves it all jerky. Anyone know how to fix this?

increase the number of path_corners?

Jerky in what way?

Did you tweak the speed settings? I had a similar experience when I tried to make a "speeding bullet" train and set the speed WAY too high.

I changed the speed yes to 250 thats all and tracer bullet when I press
the button to trigger it to go while I am on the train it jerks.
Like the ladders in HL2DM sometimes.

So is the problem fixed???

I haven't tried trains in HL2 yet, but the various other moving entities I have tried to use as lifts or whatever always become very jerky when the player is on them.

is it jerky at all times or just when a player is riding on it? I have a func_tanktrain set up in the map Im working on it and it did a lot of goofy stuff till I set the 'not blockable by players' or 'unblockable by player' ... anyways, it's something like that under the flags and it really helped out a lot.

Ok here we go.

The problem you have is the same problem we all have that being lifts, trains, ladders, and anything that uses path track etc.

So what is the problem you say!

It is the following, HL2 and HL2DM are near enough the same as fare as any person is conserned but there are slight diffrences between them one being the jerkey lifts and trains, this is cuased by a bug in HL2DM, A bug you say so why doesnt valve fix it, its becuase its not a bug per say but rather a good bug that cuts down on lag during game play online, valve have made HL2DM in a way that when you play you do not view every single frame per second as in HL2 single player so instead you view only some frames as frames are cut out to reduce lag while playing online.

I hope this answers your question.

And no there is not a fix for it yet as far as I am aware of and there probably never will be in HL2DM becuase its had I said its to alow you to play less lag free.

If any of this information is wrong I am really sorry, but I'm pretty sure its all right.

Thank you for reading this post.

Now if you excuse me I must carry on with my HL2DM map dm_heaven.

When I am on the train. I will check that box and see if it helped I dont have hammer open right now.

I think you might be wrong. Im assuming SuperCobra is just testing his map after compiling it, which is what I do. My train isn't laggy or jerky at all as long as I have the 'unblockable by player' flag checked. Now wether or not it's jerky when I throw it up on a CS:S server ... I dunno.

My func_movelinears are jerky when you stand on them (velocity less than 200), I'm thinking it's a game 'bug' or what darrenstraight suggested.
