Hey all, its me :leper: Half-dude!

You all remimber that scene in the tram level of HL1 were the train goes down this spinning elevator while the announcement system talks about no smoking and stuff right? Well I ras wondering if you guys know any tutorials that explain how to do this. I've looked and found none. I've done this before with just putting a path_track right above the one before but with that you can hear the train sounds, rather then... ummm... not.
Yes I spell bad, but remimber Mighty are the stupid.

Wow complicated!! How do you get the train to actually stop moving though? I dono maybe I read it wrong I wish the example map worked.

Try a setup using a
func_platrot
for a simpler effect (the way I always assumed it was done untill I
read that Verc tutorial). An in depth train tutorial with a good
example map would be worth making, actually.

yea, I've used platrots, but how do you get the train to move with it. You see Im trying to get a non-player controlled train to go on top of a track turn-table and turn with it and not make a moving train sound.

I think there's an entity for that... yes, here it is,the func_trackautochange! Try it! I've never used it myself, so I can't tell you how, but I think that's how they did it in original hl.
