I have a func_tracktrain that I want to be instantly teleported to another path_track when it passes the final one.
The tracktrain goes from A to B and what I want is when it reaches A it is teleported back to B.
How do i do this?

Im not too sure by the given description, but you just specify the next path after point b, or you want something to go back and forth? or?

Yeah, oops.
Start at A
travel slowly to B
teleport instantly to A
travel slowly to B
teleport instantly to A
travel slowly to B

So something like the platforms in Chamber 15?

yes just like that, except I only want one platform going at a time and I think chamber 15 has 2 or 3 platforms at once

I am 99% sure there is some sort of flag and/or an Output that the path_track gives, something like OnPass or a "Teleport to Destination" flag.

Point_teleport?
It's supposed to teleport any entities?

I'd have to double check again to be sure, but I recall when looking through chamber 19's entity list that they just killed the train when it reached the end (B) and used an entity maker to make a new one (A).

That sounds kinda complicated, can you use an entity maker to make a whole hierachy?

When it reach the end, reverse direction and change the speed to something EXTREME?

I'm relatively sure there is a teleport option in the path_track flags. Is it not working for you?

There is a flag on the path_track entity called "Teleport to THIS path track". Perhaps setting that on the first path_track might work?

No, thats got something to do with moving it from where it starts in hammer.

I just tested the teleport option on the path_tracks, and they work just fine. I have attached a vmf to show the setup, but it's mega-simple.

Thanks, it makes perfect sence now. I have to link A to B and then B back to A but flag A with 'teleport to this path'
