Train Question

Cannabis

Say you have a system of path_tracks for func_tracktrain b1, b2, b3, and b4 in a square, with the train starting at b1. Is there anyway to prevent the minecart, from going in reverse to b4, making b1 a one-way dead end (only in reverse) if you get my point? i tried working with branchs and branch reverse, if people know how they work.

each path_corner has a name and a target. If you don't want a train going back to a certain path_corner don't ever target it from another path_corner.

Uh, it doesn't work that way Reese.

Func_tracktrains can't be stopped from going in reverse, but they can be disabled completely by setting the fourth flag (bit 8) to true on a path_track.

If you really need a func_tracktrain that won't go backwards then I suggest not including func_traincontrols and simply using some multimanagers and triggers/buttons to stop and start the train.

sorry, i've only ever worked with func_train....and i've always controlled it with buttons and a multimanager.
