So i have this model train, now how do i make this move. Also i want to attach a sound and a env_shake for when it goes over the players head, then when its out of the players view, wait a few mins and go over again. Please give a detailed answer i cant understand how to do it from other tutorials, if you could add screen shots that would be great. Thanks :)

Ok, and how do I make it teleport back to its starting position after like a couple of seconds?
hmmmm youre asking a lot there. with my train, i just have it on a constant loop rather than re-spawning.

There is almost always a few possible ways to do one thing. I always do trains by creating an invisible (nodraw) brush, turn it into tracktrain and then parenting everything I want to it.

Set 2 path_track and set first one "teleport to this path track" flag. 2 or just put an output on second path_track that will teleport train to first path_track 3. Or u can set put a trigger_teleport that will teleport the train. 4. Or you can make the train a spawnable object by the point_template and kill it everytime it passes the second path_track and spawn new one at start position. 5. I bet there is more ways to do it. Just be creative and test your ideas.
