Func_conveyor

<div class="IPBDescription">What a pisser.</div> Look at the attached picture. The red field computer on the left of the screen and the terran planet computer screen, right next to each other. Both have the EXACT same values set under func_conveyor and yet only the red field one works.

Why? One computer console was cloned directly from the other, and then I set the func_conveyor properties manually.

    func_conveyor textures need to start with the word 'scroll' or they won't appear to move at all.

    Hmm I have had similar problems, and what Greedo said is not always the only problem. If you are creating the texture yourself I have heard it said that using capitals for the name, and using odd characters like underscores can cause problems.
    In my map I had a conveyor, and it mysteriously didn't work, I then changed the name from "SCROLL_CONV01" to "scroll_CONV01" and for some strange reason it started working. I really don't understand how this works, but it sure can be really annoying sometimes.

    Ok thanks, didnt know about that scroll thing. Another question regarding this stuff: I have a hallway with a couple of floor panels I planned on turning into conveyors but they aren't made conveyors yet, and when I started the level to test it of course they werent doing anything. However after running around to check things I came back to that hallway and they were moving at 255 conveyor speed. I checked out in the editor and they are NOT conveyors. Whats going on there? One of the textures wasnt even a scroll texture it was a running light texture.

    If a 'scroll' texture was anywhere on the brush, this is probably what made the textures move. 'Scroll' textures are funny if used anywhere except on a func_conveyor.
