[!XxShAdOwxX!]

There is no func_train in the ESF 1.1 FDG, but there is in the ESF 1.2 FDG. So wait until Saturday .

 

[Wangster]

hmm, lol, that sucks, i want to complete teh map
thnx anyway

 

[!XxShAdOwxX!]

You can complete the map in two days, just get it all polished up until then =P.

umm i belive you can just paste the name func_train and it may work.
i know this worked with several mods.

I don't think you can put the code into ESF by pasting in the line "func_train". Just wait until Saturday .

i know that sounds crazy but it worked with a few other commands in esf that werent in the list.
I do know one thing that didnt work along time ago was the cameras...
Ill try to think of the few that worked that werent in the list.

Here's what you do: Use the Half-Life FGD WITH the ESF v1.1 FGD.

Problem Solved.

Then you can compile and your func_train ents will work on v1.2

it's good to know that.....but what is func_train??

 

[Mr. Satans]

It's an entity that is mainly used for...well...trains

Any "vehicle" type thing you've ever used in ANY half-life mod is a func_train

 

[Kurachi]

can something ride with that? or what? i never used it so.....i dunno what it is for (what to do with the vehicle .. or what it can)explane me please

 

[Mr. Satans]

It can be used many different ways. The most common of which is to make a controllable train of some sort. An example would be a track with info_path entities to tell the "train" where to go.

Go to http://www.Valve-ERC.com for more info

hmm, i thought i could make un controllable things with it, like a moving arena??

 

[Mr. Satans]

Yes, you could do that too. I just gave an example of the most popular use of the entity.
