Okay, I have 6 signs that I want to have fly up and then travel due north and stop at a point for some number of seconds, then return to where they started and wait for their trigger to be reactivated.

Okay, I have a brush tied to "FUNC_BUTTON". It's target is "mm" which is a multimanager. I added a key value to the MM set to "names1" that goes to "names6" with the other value for each going up from 1-6. I have 3 brushes for each sign. I tied them each seperate to "FUNC_TRAIN". If this is all right so far, I want to know how I can make them move. Do I use "PATH_TRACK" or "PATH_CORNER". Since the travel vertically and horizontally, what do I do? Remember, they need to travel backwards to the original point as well.

path_tracks are usually for func_tracktrain entities.

if they are just going in straight lines, whats wrong with func_doors?

why complicate it needlessly?

fairly accurate, if the signs need to rotate, func_tracktrain, if theyre not rotating, func_train, the func_train is easier.
