Your script looks right to me from the quick glance of it. To save you some scripting, you could try linking the train_clip to the train: train_clip linkto(train);

Doing this will make it so you will only need the train moveto functions and not both the train and train_clip moveto functions.

ok clips are annyoing so im using brushes and made them script_modelbrushes they move fine except the move on an angle like ---

poijnt starights but doesnt go staright script and orgins are fine?

idk if this would make this easier but u wanna add my xfire? slayer2746

can somebody tell me wich where i can find this train tutorial where this guy is talking about?
i have allready search the whole forum for it but cannot find it

Most likely either this tutorial (for moving things) or this tutorial (about flying stukas).

What do you want to know exactly? Because that way we can help you better.

A long time ago when i was trying to make an entire map with a moving train I decided to throw together a small sample of one for the public. Here is the download for it

http://www.modsonline.com/Downloads-full-3753.html

The 90 degree problem the other person mentioned was because of how i positioned the models, and therefore i needed to subtract 90 degrees to get the train to go around the curve. Most likely the person just copied and pasted it without changing it to his needs.
The other problem he experienced was because his waypoint origin was below the origin of the train.

If you have any questions Ill be more than happy to help ya out.

hi,

its not realy long ago only 8 months.
anyhow, thanks for the map.
it helps me alot.
iam also try to make a map with a riding train.
why did stop with the train project?

you know right now i can not really remember why I stopped it, but I wont be starting it up for sometime now. Busy mapping for Heart of the Battle and with College I just dont have the time anymore. I can still help ya though if ya need it, just ask.

Been working on this code. Hope it can help someone.

Main()
{
//Versatile Train
//Thanks to |TM|TexasRebel for his train move script, and Playername for help with debugging
//By Scratchy
//
//Needed in Map:
//-A Script Brushmodel or Script Model that will be the train. Needs to have these value...
//Key: targetname		Value: train
//
//-Anything with an origin can be used for the waypoints, as long as they have the value...
//Key: targetname		Value: waypoints
//
//-If you want the train to wait at a waypoint give it this value...
//
//Key: waittime		Value: (time you want the train to stop in seconds)
//
//-The waypoints will also need to be numbered with this value...
//Key: track		Value: 1
//
//^Start with 1, and go up from there. The train with follow by track number.^
//
//What Does it do?
//
//-This script will take a train, and make it follow a series of waypoints in the map.
//After completing predefined loop, the trains stops.


Train = getent("targetname","train");
Waypoints = getentarray("targetname","waypoint");
Wheels = getentarray("targetname","wheels");
Spawn = getentarray("track","1");
Wheels linkto(Train);
Train moveto((Spawn),0,0,0.05);

//How many times you want the train to loop the track.
//1 for one go around. Do not enter 0 or negative integer.
Loop = 1;
speed = 150;

//If you want the train to never stop, then change this next line to...
//While(1)
for(j=0;j<Loop;j++)
	{
	for(i=1;i<Waypoints.size;i++)
		{
		wayStart = getent("track", i);
		wayEnd = getent("track", i+1);
		thread Wheels Wheels_spin(Speed);
		Train_Move(wayStart, wayEnd, Speed);
		}
	}
}

Train_Move(wayStart, wayEnd)
{

if(isDefined(wayStart.waittime))
	wait(wayStart.waittime);

dist = distance(way1Start.origin,wayEnd.origin);
time = (dist / speed);
angles = vectortoangles(wayEnd.origin - wayStart.origin) - (0,90,0);
train rotateto((angles),0.001);
train moveto((wayEnd.origin),time);
train waittill("movedone");
}

Wheels_spin(Speed)
{
dist = distance(way1Start.origin,wayEnd.origin);
time = (dist / speed);
circum = 50 * 3.14;
spin = dist / circum * 360;
self rotatevelocity ((0,0,spin), time);
}

Very nice condensed version Scratchy, should make it a lot easier for people since they wont have to have a huge code.
