Help with BTS Vactubes
Quote from User on August 18, 2013, 11:18 amIt works when only cube is at the same time in the tube
But in your vmf, there are multiple trains the same time, and that doesn work, the cube is parented to multiple trains. I dont really know how to get that work, that one cube is parented to only one specific train. ^^

Hmm, I think I see what you mean. Because multiple cubes and trains exist at the same time, it's glitching out because it doesn't know what to parent itself to. Ok, I think I know what I should do now:
