View source for Vehicle Attachment Points

These are ''points'' in 3D space giving information on various aspects of the train as follows:

=Special Points=
==a.limfront==
* Marks the front of the train, used for coupling
* Should be roughly the same distance from origin as '''a.limback'''
* Bogeys can be further forward than '''a.limfront''' if desired
* Determines the forward headlight position
* Height above origin (or Z) = 0.89m (2’ 10.8”)

==a.limback==
* Marks the rear of the train, used for coupling
* See '''a.limfront'''
* Height above origin (or Z) = 0.89m (2’ 10.8”)

==a.bog0==
* Front bogey attachment
* Used for positioning the train on the track
* Positioned at absolute centre of front bogey

==a.bog1==
* Rear bogey attachment
* Used for positioning the train on the track
* Positioned at absolute centre of rear bogey

==a.bog (2, 3, etc)==
* Any other bogey attachments

==a.exhaust (0, 1, etc..)==
* Smoke generator attachments (where needed)

==a.light* (0, 1, etc..)==
* Light “corona” attachments. On a locomotive use '''a.light0''', '''a.light2''' (even numbers) for the forward lights, and '''a.light1''', '''a.light3''' (odd numbers) for the rear lights. Thsi allows the correct lights to show depending on running direction.

==a.cabfront==
* Attachment point for the front cabin of a loco
* Located at the centre of cabin

==a.cabback==
* Attachment point for the rear cabin of a loco. Use this for dual cab locomotives.
* Located at the centre of cabin
* Front/back cab toggled using the ‘Alt C’ key when using the internal camera mode.

==a.pant (0, 1, etc..)==
* Attachment point for pantographs (where needed, i.e. Electric locos)

==a.driver (0, 1, etc..)==
* Attachment point for driver mesh (0 is used for the first driver, 1 for the second driver in dual cab for instance). Currently, only '''a.driver''' 0 is supported. 

==a.outsideview (0, 1, etc..)==
* These are located external of the loco body mesh.
* The camera is positioned to face the negative Y direction of the attachment.
* Toggled using [ and ] using the internal camera mode after default interior camera view(s).

==a.r.pivot/a.lever (sample names used only)==
* Special naming convention for attachment points that are to move with the animation of the asset.
* Refer to the CCG for information.

==a.whistle==
* Attachment point for particle effects being emitted when the whistle key is pressed.
