Complicated trains

How many path_ut_stops am I allowed to use? And does path_corner have a purpose? I am building a test to see how complicated a func_ut_train's path can be. I am having it roll over, pitch up and down, and turn left and right as it goes along. I hope it works.

I've used 11 stops so far, works fine - no idea what the limit is.
If they implemented it like I'd do there would be no limit other than the general entity limit though

(It should be using a single side linked list)

I'm guessing the limit is 255. My test will probably get to about 100.

I have a feeling that the rotations are going to be a pain (I hate roll/pitch/yaw, why can't we use quaternions?!), but I won't know until I get all the control points arranged.

For this question, ask vulture|xp. He did some REALLY complex trains but he generated them using code, not radiant. anyway he would be a good person to ask.
