Combine that with brushes tied to a func_train and you should be more then able to get a moving surrounding.

[Tyrant T100]

That said, an outdoor train map would make me swoon.

Moving skyboxes worked pretty well in TS:FP

That is exactly what I was thinking of when I wrote that.

[FF|NedStar]

Holy shit, can you do moving 3dskyboxes in source?

[AndyTheGeeky]

Danmaku!

What, the shitty Star Fox-style shooter, with striders, helicopters, and everything?
Where you spawn in an arcade?

I'm pretty sure there were no giant manhacks in that.

I think you're thinking of the wrong map. This is danmaku




Anyway, sorry for 'derailing' your thread darkhazz. Just thought that this map was worth mentioning because it makes quality use of the skybox.

[worbat]

Make the train shake a little?

[Ajunk]

So ya, I'm thinking the only way there would be enough room to play would be if there's either two parallel trains or at least a double-decker train.

Well you can't have moving displacements but theres a number of ways to simulate moving skyboxes.

[Ajunk]

Oh, quick question: if you jump off the train, could you make a trigger_push that slams you down at a crazy force instead of just a trigger hurt? That way the screen will black and sound like falling and look like falling and you won't just see your body floating along the tracks.

How big will these trains be by the way? Is it going to be one of those maps (Cluedo) where if you hurt or kill anyone everyone in the damn map hears and sees it.

[Ajunk]

Hopefully there will be loud(ish) train noises to cover that up.

But then that would make C4 overpowered then. Unable to hear the beeping so you wouldn't even know. On top of that, if the carts are side by side then C4 might hit half the map.

[Bad King Urgrain]

If the trains are relatively small, it will also be harder to plant the C4 without anyone noticing.

[Tyrant T100]

So it balances itself off quite nicely.

Every map has it's good and bad traitor items.

[Tyrant T100]

Could traitors as an objective separate the train cars causing crashes, it could just go backwards on a tracktrain out of site.

[Ajunk]

I thought about this, but once again, moving whole platforms of people is a terrible idea, even if it's really slow. Besides, what would the separated train car do? Everyone inside would just sit there looking dumb.

Ideas for train cars:

[li]Cargo hold (several of these)(perhaps leave large side door open on some)[/li]
[li]Passenger cars (from first class booths to economy class rows of seats)[/li]
[li]Sleeper car[/li]
[li]Dining car[/i]
[list][li]Luggage car[/li]
[li]Steam engine[/li]
[li]Caboose[/li]
[li]Vacant section (no roof or walls or anything, just wide open to the tunnel will some stuff laying around).[/li]
[li]Entertainment room[/li]
[li]Worker's car[/li]

I'm thinking it would be best to place them is a sensible order, such as (from the front): Steam engine, entertainment, first class, dining, middle class, economy class, luggage car, sleeper car, worker's car, cargo hold, cargo hold, cargo hold, vacant section, caboose.

If we base it partially on the Khallos express, the storage cars should be spread out throughout the train, this also means people wont camp/avoid them.
When I meant sections detaching I meant the last one or two carriages, so they basically detach and anyone on it dies, maybe the terrorists are escaping or something, the traitors could require equipment to use this.

So my plan would be
Engine
VIP suite
Business quarters
Business class
Entertainment car
Bar car
Storage car
Storage car
economy car
economy quarters
economy car
Empty car
Workers cars
Storage car

True very true..
