So somehow I got it working with a timer:

PHP Code:

bool ReadDataFile()
{
    float vecs[3];    
    
    Handle kvNew = CreateKeyValues("Locations");    
    BuildPath(Path_SM, szDataFile, sizeof(szDataFile), "data/sm_vec/sm_vec_%s.nav", g_szMapName);
    
    FileToKeyValues(kvNew, szDataFile);

    ArrayList path = new ArrayList(3); // create a dynamic list, hold enough space for a float[3]
    
    for (int i = 1; i <= 12; i++)
    {
        // read the vector from your config file...
        Format(Position, sizeof(Position), "Position%i", i);
        KvJumpToKey(kvNew, Position, true);        
        KvGetVector(kvNew, NULL_STRING, vecs);
        if(i == 12)
        {
    //        PrintToChatAll("Vector: %f : %f : %f", vecs[0], vecs[1], vecs[2]);
            Handle h=CreateDataPack();
            WritePackFloat(h, vecs[0]);
            WritePackFloat(h, vecs[1]);
            WritePackFloat(h, vecs[2]);

            CreateTimer(0.01, CheckTurn, h, TIMER_REPEAT|TIMER_FLAG_NO_MAPCHANGE);
        }        
        KvRewind(kvNew);

        
        // push your path coords onto the array
        path.PushArray(vecs);
    }
    
    SetConVarInt(g_hVecSetup, 0);
    SetConVarInt(g_hVecOn, 1);
    
    CloseHandle(kvNew);
    
    
    // below is mostly copied from CreateAll() the other post, I'm going to assume it works
    char trackname[32];
    char prevtrackname[32];
    
    // iterate backwards from the last path entry to the first and create the tracks
    for (int i = path.Length; i-- > 0;)
    {
        path.GetArray(i, vecs);
        
        FormatEx( trackname, sizeof( trackname ), "_track%i", i );
        CreatePath( trackname, vecs, prevtrackname );
        strcopy( prevtrackname, sizeof( prevtrackname ), trackname );
    }
    
    delete path; // this closes our ArrayList instance

    // Create func_tracktrain
    int tracktrain = CreateTrackTrain( "_train", "_track0", "200" );
    
    // Create our "helicopter"
    int prop = CreateTrainProp( "_prop" );
    
    // Parent it to func_tracktrain
    ParentToEntity( prop, tracktrain );
    
    return true;    
} 


and in the timer:

PHP Code:

public Action CheckTurn(Handle timer,any h)
{
    ResetPack(h);
    float pos[3];
    pos[0]=ReadPackFloat(h);
    pos[1]=ReadPackFloat(h);
    pos[2]=ReadPackFloat(h);
    
    
    float vecs[3];
    int ent = -1;
    while ((ent = FindEntityByClassname(ent, "func_tracktrain")) != -1)
    {
        if (IsValidEntity(ent))
        {
            GetEntPropVector(ent, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", vecs);
    //        PrintToChatAll("Vector: %f: %f: %f",vecs[0], vecs[1], vecs[2] );
            float distance;
            distance = GetVectorDistance(pos, vecs);
            if (distance < 50)
            {            
                AcceptEntityInput(ent, "Reverse");
            }
        }
    }
} 


maybe there is an easier method or better way someone knows here ?

I made a plugin based off that exact snippet last month, you can take a look at my code if you want some ideas.

Thanks, I found another solution by adding a HookSingleEntityOutput(ent, "OnPass", OnEntityOutPut);
in the Create_Path block like nosoop suggested and than do something like this:

PHP Code:

public OnEntityOutPut(const char[] output, caller, activator, float delay)
{    
    int curCount = g_Count[activator];
    g_Count[activator]++;    
           
     int ent = -1;
    while ((ent = FindEntityByClassname(ent, "func_tracktrain")) != -1)
    {
        if (IsValidEntity(ent))
        {
            if(curCount == 10)    
            {                
                AcceptEntityInput(ent, "Reverse");
            }
            if(curCount == 20)    
            {                
                AcceptEntityInput(ent, "Reverse");
            }
            if(curCount == 30)    
            {                
                AcceptEntityInput(ent, "Reverse");
            }
            if(curCount == 40)    
            {                
                AcceptEntityInput(ent, "Reverse");
            }
            if(curCount == 50)    
            {                
                AcceptEntityInput(ent, "Reverse");
            }            
        }
     }       
} 


Not the best but it works , maybe there is a method to put this into an infinite loop.........
