Ok guys, my problem is quite simple to understand, but pretty hard to solve. So what I am planning to do is a map with a train in it... Now the train should at least be able to drive forward, and at least to make some turns... If it could carry a person that would be great, but I will get to that later... Now my problem is, that I decided to use the model of the steam tank as the frontest wagon, who pulls the others... As for the other wagons, I decided to choose the Arcane Transporters, which are only seen in one Night elf mission. Ok and here is the problem... I asked Biluxi, and he kindly told me, that if I wanted to make the other wagons follow the first ones, then I would just have to "Move unit to unit" every 0.01 second... Now this is what I did, but some things go wrong here... The first thing that goes wrong, is that the other wagons change directions in a huge speed... This gives you a headache, for they seem to be blinking, as they turn up and aside so fast... Now I used the trigger: Move unit (Wagon) to unit (front), and make unit(wagon) face angle of unit(front)... But this as we see does not work.... Also I do not know how to make the train turn, so that the other wagons don't all turn at once, but just one by one, take the turn... Ok I hope you can help me there |

I try to help you without testing it in the We. 1. Order the Units to follow !! NOT to move to ... ! 2. Make the first Units slower than the 2nd and the 2nd slower than the 3rd and so on. ( You can do this with trigger ) I thought about this 2 min . It is maybe not a good reason or bugged ... but try it. If it works not you can call me again and i will test and change it so many times how it takes !! PS: I think i am too nice for this world ^^ Bloodhunter ^----- my new Bnet Acc in Europe !! |

It might work if you use regions instead of following, make the units behind the front car slower and slower like Ouguiya said and order all of them to move to regions along the path you want them to move to. [this is assuming the train units are already made and not spawned in the triggers] Or! better yet, (unless this interfers with your map) put up pathing blockers to keep the train on track! :D |

First, why is this in the cinematic support forum? Second, just make the train cars follow the car ahead. Set the following distance in the game constants to like 100 or something. ;) |
