Train Test

Post by tltrude »

I just wanted to see if i could get a monorail Script_object to follow a "flypath". Here are the results and it works fairly well.

For some reason the monorail turns 90 degrees when it starts following the path. So, I had to start it 90 degrees off, and turn it onto the track during prespawn. It follows the path, but setting the angles of the path nodes, or the script_object, does nothing. Everyone is welcome to copy and use anything they like from this map.

scorpio

Post by tltrude »

Probably, but I haven't seen scorpio post anything in a long time. It would be pretty easy to do, if the train just traveled on a streight track. I did make a drivable trolly once for Blar14, but he never released the map (obj_prado3) that I know of.

i think if you use splinepaths, you can determine the angle. i think you have to use the key 'angles'. then with that you type in the (pitch yaw roll)

as for the part of it turning 90 degrees, i dont know if this happens in moh, but in half life, when you made a func_train, you had to make it facing west in the editor, no matter what way you want it to be ingame.

textures

Post by tltrude »

Sorry about the missing textures. They have been added to the pk3. If you care to download it again, everything should be there.

I think using "angles" in the spline path nodes only works for models and not script_objects. I did want to make the monorail lean while going around corners, but couldn't get it to work.

Guilty as charged. The performance of the map sucked. I finally figured out how to improve it, but it's about 50 hours work. Tom's script work makes the map quite a lot of fun, so I will fix the map and release it as my goodbye present to you all (after I finish HITP).

trolly

Post by tltrude »

The trolly had two switches/triggers with "$mytriggername bind $trolly" used to attach them. One team would start the trolly moving and the other team could stop and reverse it--from either switch. The team that held the trolly in their station for a total of 60 seconds won.

The boat hull is made of two patch mesh, and the sail is a thickened patch mesh. The rest of it is just brushes. The sail was made a seperate script object, so it could be made non-solid. The map file is in the zip, if you want to tear the boat apart to see what makes it tick.

Ok, I reactivated the link just for you. Tell me when you have it so I can delete it again -- I need the space.

There are two versions of the map, but they are just loose files -- not in pk3 form. There will probably be missing textures, but the .map is included if you wana fix them.
