KIND: BRIDGE

Description

Road or rail bridges and similar assets, as variable length splines. The bridge kind may include initiator, divider, terminator segments, and shadows. The height and gradient of the bridge spline may be varied in Surveyor.

Container Structure

A bridge kind has the following container Structure:

TAGS AND CONTAINERS

The following tags are further defined in Chapter 5:

kuid
Generated automatically by CCP.
trainz-build
Automatically set to 2.9 for 2009 assets.
category-class
Should be "TB – Bridge". See the "Track" section of Category Class.
category-region
See Category Region for a list of valid category-region values.
category-era
See Category Era for a list of valid category-era values.
username
Asset username. This will be the name that appears in the surveyor menu.
height
Height from the track level to the base, must be a negative value to raise the bridge above the ground.
kind
Must be "bridge".
rgb
This value should be left as default.
bridgetrack
Kuid of the track type to be used.
Istrack, isroad
Two boolean tags detailing the behavior of the bridge. If the isroad is set to true, then cars are placed on the bridge. Both values should not be set to true.
kuid-table
The kuid of the track\road used in the asset should be present here, as should those of any other referenced assets.

Additional Tags

bendy
Switches how track is bent on corners, set as 1 allows the mesh to be deformed as the spline is bent around corners.
carrate
Defines traffic density on road (minimum seconds between each car generated). 0 = No traffic. Number must be greater than 3 for traffic flow.
casts_shadows
Toggles whether the shadow model is displayed or not.
endlength
Length in meters of the initiator and terminator models.
grounded
Height in meters for the road to be offset from terrain.
length
Length of track segment in meters
repeats
The number of times the mesh is placed between spline points
shadows
Leave as default 0 (unticked box).
upright
Specifies whether the bridge "legs" point vertically, or perpendicular to the spline.
visible-on-minimap
Specifies if the object\track is displayed on the minimap.
width
Width of track mesh in meters.
initiator
Name of model to use at start of bridge, placed in subfolder with same name.
divider
Name of the model to use as the middle bridge section, placed in subfolder with same name. No length is specified, and the divider overlaps part of the spline.
terminator
Name of model to use at the end of bridge, placed in subfolder with same name.
trackoffsets
Distance in meters the rail/s are placed relative to the center of the spline. A single track must have a small offset of 0.01 metres from the centreline. Any number of tracks can be attached to the spline, only splines with the same track offsets can be connected together.
