Will Escalators cause Lag?

Doughnut-4|4- · 03-19-2008, 10:40 AM

I made a few escalators in my map by using about 160 individual func_tracktrains transgressing about 160 path_tracks. They go slow (20 units/sec) but my question is will they lag servers to hell? They are set to automatic with no user controls.

The same method worked on HL1 escalators just fine, so I don't see this being a problem.

be sure to check if they still work after using mp_prematch

I spent about 2 days making escalators and then I thought... why not share? So if anyone wants to use my escalators feel free to download the link below and in the zip is a vmf with eight escalators individually coded (four going up and four going down).

You should make a new thread with that so that people can find it later on down the road if ever they want to.
