trains don't work in N2 (?)

[peachmonkey]

hello,

I've tried spawning couple of trains, however that never worked:

- in ME I define the initial train unit

- I add waypoints along the train tracks, however they never follow the actual train tracks and just look like straight waypoint line vectors

- after launching the mission the train never spawns.

Straight lines means it's not a valid track direction that you've assigned to the train. It's only valid if the waypoint line vector is following the tracks.

And some tracks on Normandy are one way only.

oh, I didn't realize that, thank you for the hint, I'll give a try today and update the post...

I am still unable to get trains to work in Normandy. If I set multiple waypoints so that the vector follows the tracks the train still does not spawn. The direction should not be one-way as there are parallel tracks.

Attach your mission

Must have been fixed with a recent patch. Immediately after Normandy 2.0 released they wouldn't spawn, but they do now.

They do, and the fun part is you can have trains running around without locs.

If they don't spawn, check time?
