Help with moving platform

#1 · June 17, 2008, 11:00 pm

I need help creating a moving platform. I swear to god I have done EVERYTHING, but it won't work. Here's what I've done so far:

1:Created platform prop

2: Created invisible func_tracktrain entity

3: Set the entity's first stop target to the first func_track entity, and have created my track as visible by the yellow line.

4: Set the invisible traintrack eneity as a parent to the platform prop

I'm on my last rope. I have followed the Valve Dev Community tutorial down to every last word and it does not work. I need people who have created one before to help me, since I am completely stumped.

Thanks in advance :roll:
