yes I did, but it was for a game (with fully supported sdk) called Quake2. 8) There was a func_train entity that I could target to multiple pc's(path_corners). When it reached the last pc it would teleport back to the first one. And I must say, even then it was *very* hard to make it loop seamlessly.

Code: Select all

Well not a code but "visual" help;)
This would be a loop of the func_train (the steps grouped together):
  
	 ---<teleported<---
	/                   \
	 pc1 -> pc2 -> pc3 -> 
As for getting it to work in Mohaa, I'm still to find out what entities really work at all, so I'm no help here I'm afraid.

I think escalators weren't invented yet (?) during ww2, but who cares. It'd be cool if the thing worked. You could use a texture with steps and make it flow with a shader. But then nothing would happen if the player would step onto it and it wouldn't look too convincing.
