Advanced Conveyor Belt (Portal2) Example map and tutorial

#1 · October 11, 2011, 6:06 am

This is how Valve made proper conveyor belts in the game section 'turret manufacturing'

It consists of eighteen func_tracktrains, with individually attached prop_dynamic belt sections which move the player and objects.

VMF and BSP are included for you to examine and edit any way you see fit. Hopefully this will help to explain how it was done, and how you can do it for yourself :-)

Could you also add a short tutorial of how to make it?
Just make bland points, if you don't want to work on it too much. I will happily make it a full tutorial.
If you decide to write a few points, do it here please.
