How to make Models/Brushmodels Move (Trains in Zombie Train)

Radiant

Create a script model and call it:

targetname

train

Create a trigger_use and call it:

targetname

train_trig

Create a script brushmodel and call it:

targetname

door

That's it for the radiant side of things...

Scripts

Place in your Mapname.gsc after maps\_zombiemode::main();

level thread maps\train_move::main(); //calls the train_move.gsc

Create .GSC file in you root/mods/mapname/maps folder and call it train_move.gsc
Here's the script that goes in train_move.gsc

#include common_scripts\utility; 
#include maps\_zombiemode_utility;
#include maps\_utility;
main()
{

 
	 trigger = getent("train_trig","targetname"); //trigger that calls train
         train = getEnt("train", "targetname"); //train that moves
	 door = getEnt("door", "targetname"); //door that moves


         trigger UseTriggerRequireLookAt();
         trigger SetCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" );
	 trigger setHintString("The power must be activated first");                //remove line if you want it to work without power
         flag_wait( "electricity_on" );                                //remove line if you want it to work without power
	 trigger SetHintString( "Press &&1 to Call Train" ); //what the trigger tells the players

         trigger waittill ("trigger");
	 trigger delete();
 

	players = get_players();
		 for( i = 0; i < players.size; i++ )
			 players[i] playsound("trainhorn"); //sound that plays when train is called (sound file NOT included in tutorial)


	wait 1;
 
	        
 	 train moveX (-800, 3);
 

	wait 7;

         players = get_players();
		 for( i = 0; i < players.size; i++ )
			 players[i] playsound("door_slide_open"); //if you open a door/area with or after object has moved

	 door moveZ (-300, 1);


	wait 10;


	       
	        door delete(); //door or debris that is no longer seen be the player
	      
 
	       
 
} 

Build mod and make sure that the new train_move.gsc file is checked
Compile like usual

Is there also a way to make the train keep moving? like it stops at a station and then you can use it again? and make it buyable? (making it buyable is probably very easy )

Add another script model of a train car(or whatever you are using).
Give it it's own targetname (ex:train2)

Then add it to the .gsc

train2 = getEnt("train2", "targetname");

Also make it move with the 1st train script model.

train moveX (-800, 3);
train2 moveX (-800, 3);

    

No, the error is caused by a fault in the script.

level thread maps\rocket_move::main();

#include common_scripts\utility; 
#include maps\_zombiemode_utility;
#include maps\_utility;
main()
{

     
     trigger = getent("rocket_trig","targetname"); //trigger that calls rocket
         train = getEnt("rocket", "targetname"); //rocket that moves
     door = getEnt("door", "targetname"); //door that moves


         trigger UseTriggerRequireLookAt();
         trigger SetCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" );
     trigger setHintString("The power must be activated first");                //remove line if you want it to work without power
         flag_wait( "electricity_on" );                                //remove line if you want it to work without power
     trigger SetHintString( "Press &&1 to launch the Rocket" ); //what the trigger tells the players

         trigger waittill ("trigger");
     trigger delete();
    

    players = get_players();
         for( i = 0; i < players.size; i++ )
             players[i] playsound("trainhorn"); //sound that plays when train is called (sound file NOT included in tutorial)


    wait 1;
    
            
 	 rocket moveZ (1100, 3);
    

    wait 7;

         players = get_players();
         for( i = 0; i < players.size; i++ )
             players[i] playsound("door_slide_open"); //if you open a door/area with or after object has moved

     door moveY (-300, 1);


    wait 10;


            
            door delete(); //door or debris that is no longer seen be the player
          
        
           
        
} 

You forgot to change one of the trains to rocket

So here with another question. I have everything going good and map compiled. But then I go and hit my trigger my rocket dosent move. but yet my corresponding door opens a little after 9like it should).. Why no rocket launch??  At first I made a rocket and made it a prefab by saving it as a .map (no luck) I then made all my brushes script_brushmodels (no luck). do I need a actual script_model for it to work?? In the tut video you state it must be a script_model but I cant seem to make it one just a script_brushmodel? Any help would be great!
