Trigger_Push for a Conveyor

[IrocJeff]

Anyone know how to set the trigger_push up properly for use on a conveyor belt? I was able to get my func_train working but it isn't much fun when the pallets move, the belt shader moves, and you just stand there.

trigger_push isn't intended to work like a conveyor.  It requires the target_position to be at higher altitude.

 

The conveyor spawnflag (32) on trigger_push only works in SP.  Recommended to set relative spawnflag (16) as well.

Those settings don't do anything which is why I'm stumped. I even have linear set. 

Do i need a target position ?

trigger_push won't do anything without one.

First, highlight your conveyor belt with the trigger brush. (You'll want it to be a thin layer just above the conveyor so it only pushes the player when they're standing on it rather than jumping over it.

 

Set that trigger brush to a trigger_push. Target it at an info_notnull wherever the conveyor belt is travelling. You'll want to check the linear box, the multiple box, and likely the relative box. You'll have to do a little trial and error with the key and value for speed until it appears the player is being pushed at the same rate the conveyor texture is moving.

func_push is not a valid entity

I didn't know I needed something to like a target position or info null. I had it working fine as of last night right after when I posted. Originally, I thought I would just have to set a direction to the trigger.

 

NOW, all I have to do is try and sync up my conveyor belt shader speed wiht the Func_train and Trigger_Push.

 

Thanks for the help.
