See
this thread on how to add custom cars to the game. Since version 385 you can define a chain of cars that behaves as one vehicle. See here an example:
The garbage trucks were appended to the fire brigade truck to form long, connected vehicles. A better use would be for example a tram or a bending bus. There's basically no limit in the length of the chain.
To append cars to a car just use
Code: Select all
"tail":["anotherCarId",...] // A list of cars to append
To append the car itself just use null as convenient placeholder. So a chain of a car of length 3 would have a tail of length 2:
The car ids used in a tail array have to be already defined. Only the first variant (4 frames make up a variant) will be used for each car in a tail. You may use the empty/invisible car $car_null00 as placeholder between cars in a chain if sufficient.
The code to achieve the fire-garbage-trains as shown above
Code: Select all
[
{
"override":true,
"id":"$carfirebrigade00",
"type":"car",
"frames":[{"x":512,"y":657,"w":32,"h":18,"count":4}],
"tail":["$garbagetruck00","$garbagetruck00","$garbagetruck00","$garbagetruck00"]
}
]
No extra graphics needed.

Will there be a tutorial for custom zones soon?

For people who use json Genie: "tail" is an array, and the ids are values. They don't have a title just a value

What should I do if I want to make a train? The car chain looks like a train, but how to make it run on the rail? Can I add a few lines of code to make it a train?
thanks

Basically yes, adding
Code: Select all
"flag normal": false,
"flag train": true
to your car chain would allow it to drive on rails. However, you need a building (e.g. a station) that spawns it because it won't be spawned automatically.

I'm very sorry to disturb you again, because I have encountered a terrible plug-in problem. I make a lot of trains, but they always carry a car. Sometimes I make a garbage truck on top of the train, and sometimes the fire engine will be embedded in the locomotive. It's strange. But I firmly believe that this is my programming. There is a problem with the two parameters of X and y. Because when I adjust these two parameters, the situation will change, but it never disappears. There is always this strange problem. What is the problem? How to calculate the four parameters of X, y, W and h when making automobile chain? thank you. I'm very sorry, because my English is not good, this paragraph uses the translation software to translate, if there is something wrong, I'm very sorry.

It isn't your programing, it's your textures.

I want to make a mod of the Mexico City Metro, I want to make the textures and files, custom platforms, traffic lights and rails, the truth is I need help to create it, Because I don't know anything about creating plugins, and I would like to know if it is possible to use the bus dynamics, The one that has a personalized stop, that is like the bus stops and not a road decoration, And that you can put a road decoration and a stop at the same time, but I don't know how to do it, I need help from plugin creators
