make a "train" in one direction and reset it and go again after random time

[ttv wynterbliss_dbd]

as title says I'd like some instructions if anyone could help I want it to move only linear not sure if I should use func_tanktrain for it or move_linear or something different please help!

You can use func_tracktrain, or func_movelinear, or func_door. Use a logic_timer to set the random time, connected by In/Out to the train.

Sincerely, if you need just a train going from A to B, I would use a func_door, setting properly the lip value, connected to the logic timer.

Just use a move_linear instead. You wouldn't have to do the tiny bit of math to work out how far you want the door to move.

okay thanks !

I dunno how to reset it so it moves only once now is there another way to set it back to its starting position other than "closing" it again as linear?

In my opinion, you should make it a func_tanktrain instead. Then you can set the "Teleport to this path_track" flag for the starting path_track and the train will "reset" itself instantly.

Here's a better guide that actually works in 2019.

Trainstops are all done automatically.

Here is your typical advice from a Source SDK community user, if you want to keep using broken-

About as useful as a fish on a bicycle (since its a video from 2013) and as insightful as a 5 year old. But hey hoe sums up this redundant forum.

Ok now I'm done venting, here is a Hammer/Source SDK tutorial that does exactly what you require.

Yes I know its about an "elevator" (going vertically) BUT it uses the func_tracktrain option. I also used this to make a train travel horizontally making delayed stops before heading back into another direction.

i am wanting a train thats random everytime it comes by with a random timer like besides the engine how do i add all the railcars and have it be random everytime it comes by so i do not have to prepare multiple ones!? :)
