Road decoration

[THEMAX]

Yes, but it's not easy to make.

Do you have any json / lua that can show me how this is done ? cause it could be really interesting for me since i am working on a train expansion plugin.

The code looks like this :

Code: Select all    Reset

local lastCounterRight = Array{0, 0, 0}
local lastCounterLeft = Array{0, 0, 0}
local timer = 0
local x,y,level
local isTrainOnTheTrack = false

function script:update()
  if City.countRoads(Draft.getDraft'$road_barrier_open00') > 0 then
    x,y,level = City.getRoad(1, Draft.getDraft'$road_barrier_open00')
  elseif City.countRoads(Draft.getDraft'$road_barrier_closed00') > 0 then
    x,y,level = City.getRoad(1, Draft.getDraft'$road_barrier_closed00')
  end
  if timer == 0 then
    lastCounterRight[1] = Tile.getRoadCarCount(x+4, y+1, level)
    lastCounterRight[2] = Tile.getRoadCarCount(x+3, y+1, level)

How can i add night animations to a road animation (for example, to a lamp post)

[CommanderABab]

Add

Code: Select all

"light": true,
"light switching":true

to the lit at night part.

[THEMAX]

Does someone have the json + the textures of the lamp post & the night animation of the lamp post so i can see how those are made ?

[THEMAX]

With the diagonal road update, have diagonal road decorations become possible or will it be something for later ? @Lobby @JustAnyone

[Yakka]

Code: Select all

"exclusive":true

Is value true enabled and value false is disabled?

Ask @Pederont for that.

@Lobby How to make a road decoration that can rotate on all sides? I want make a vehicle trim parked on one side on road and that looks to be in the right position from all four directions.

[Lakan Haraya]

How to make a road decoration that can rotate on all sides?

Use 64 arrays

Code: Select all

"animation":[
	{"id":"$animation_A"}, //this will be your 0
	{"id":"$animation_B"}, //and this is 1
	{"id":"$animation_C"} //2
	// 3, 4, 5, ... if you add more
],
"frame animation indices":[
	[],[],[],[],		//here's for rotation 0
	[],[0,1],[],[],
	[],[],[0,2],[],
	[],[],[],[],
	
	[],[],[],[],		//for rotation 1
	[],[0,3],[],[],
	[],[],[0,4],[],
	[],[],[],[],
	
	[],[],[],[],		//rotation 2
	[],[0,5],[],[],
	[],[],[0,6],[],
	[],[],[],[],
	
	[],[],[],[],		//rotation 3
	[],[0,7],[],[],
	[],[],[0,8],[],
	[],[],[],[]
]

The placement of zeros are for frame 5 and frame 10 of road. You can also add more animations like how 1, 2, 3, ... are added in this example.
As you can see, four 16 arrays are grouped together, each 16-group is for each rotations
Take note that rotationally aware road decos are only applicable for one-way roads

Does anyone know where I might be able to get a guild on creating simple decorations for cities. Stuff like phonebooths, padestrian seats, etc. I know I can make building but I don't really have any place for that or road decorations right now.

You might try asking someone if he's interested in collaborating with you, but it's probably generally more practical doing the textures yourself.

Does anyone know the code for the cross walk road deco? How do you allow pedestrians to use it and cross the road?

Add this:

"allow road crossing": true
