Trains and Platforms

[Ghost_Fang]

Is there anything in the QC that tells the player how to move with train and platforms etc, and can that be applied to other things such as spawned entities?

[necros]

are you talking about when you're standing on a train, you move with it? that's handled completely by the engine.

Yea that's what I was referring to, but isn't there something I can do in qc, a flag or something to make the engine think that the player should move with it?

Not sure if I understand what you want. Plats and trains already move any player (any entity actually) on top, and pushes other entities and crush them when blocked. That's what MOVETYPE_PUSH is about.

Ah, I figured. So theres no way of doing this with SOLID_BSP without MOVETYPE_PUSH without doing a ridiculous touch/think function? I have a some gyro objects that are BSP models and MOVETYPE_TOSS and I just wanted the player to "ride" some of them.

Might try MOVETYPE_FOLLOW, which some engines support. It sticks one entity to another. The ricochet spike tutorial somewhere around here is a good example of that. I don't know how this would interact w/ gyro.
