It's so exciting it needs capital letters! In this tutorial I'll show you how to make a platform escort you across a massive ravine of almost certain peril. Do it vertically and it will become a lift! Make a looping track and you can make a runaway train! Oooh exciting stuff.

As for a train which toggles between two points when you press the button, before stopping at its destination, I'd suggest measuring the distance between the two destinations (ie, 1024 units on the editor), and dividing it by the speed that the train moves at (such as 64 units per second). This leaves us with 16 seconds exactly between points, so you add 2 outputs to the button. On 0 seconds, start it, on 16 seconds, stop it. Perfect timing, every time. Have fun. (This is another reason to use proper measurements when making maps)

With my elevator the trigger_once only works once and yes I have the only once option set to no

[3kliksphilip]

@maspe1 Try trigger_multiple

[maspe1]

@3kliksphilip Can I just send you the vmf? Ive been trying to get this elevator to work for over an hour :(

[3kliksphilip]

@maspe1 Upload the vmf file of your map to a site like mediafire, then send me a private message named 'elevator'

When I set output in my button i can't see the option "set speed". I set good entity and other things, what can be wrong?

[3kliksphilip]

@Qrorpl Try clicking 'apply' first and see if the options appear. What's the entity type that you're trying to make the output for? Is it definitely the func_tanktrain?

Aaaaaaa I can't get it to point in the right direction. I'm making a elevator and when it should be on pointing on the right direction it just gets like this | instead of this _ so when I am going to enter the elevator i can't!!! Please help i'm been trying for 3 weeks now!!!

I REMEMBER THIS MAP!

Not sure if it just looks like it or it is it, but it looks like this map is from CSS Zombie Escape mod.

[saxoncola23]

Instead of a block to trigger the elevator, can i do the same with props?

[SargeantD37]

@SWBF2Reviews use logic_auto entity

[SWBF2Reviews]

Is there a way to have it start without a button or a trigger? Just so when you load the map, it's already moving.

[MathieuCore2]

Hey what setting did you use for dust_cloud please I realy need it for a mg map :)

[ewegfyciwdcd11]

@3kliksphilip Why did you use caps lock in the title?

And most important, You know the prop_static "nuke_car"? I want to make it a car that passes by in my city, which is an obstacle that you'll get killed by if you get hit by.

You should really remake this tutorial. Nowdays I can easily make this stuff, but my first wish when I started mapping was infact to make trains. I think anybody likes them. ...

So i finally fixed the Train/Elevator.. And i had a button to open a door in it and a button to open a window.. And a button to move the train.. When i press a button my character freezes for like 1 - 2 seconds... And sometimes it only freezes while the button doesnt even respond... Is this normal ??

i think it has something to do that your in the train.. because i have a button out side which isnt on the train and when i press it i dont freeze and doors open normally... Please help me God ofCS
