Template:Base brush It functions as a moving platform that the player can ride. It follows a path of path_track entities.

Fixed Orientation
flag is set, build your train so that the front of the train is facing down the X axis. (This means that the front of the train is visible in the front view, etc..) When it spawns it will automatically rotate to face the next path_track
on the path.
Reverse
and StartBackward
may not function correctly if the New Train Speed
property in the involved path_track entities is set to 0. The train may fail to reverse, jamming in place or moving in the wrong direction. To solve this issue, some or all of the path_tracks
must have their New Train Speed
variable set to a non-zero value. [todo tested in ?]


CFuncTrackTrain
class, defined in thetrains.cpp
file.
Keyvalues
Distance between wheels is the distance in Hammer Units between the front axle and rear axle of your train. The rear axle moves the train and stays on the track. The front axle turns as it approaches path_tracks and does not stay on the track.
