Additional Containers
As well as containing all of the common tags and containers detailed in Chapter 5 , the mosignal kind also contains additional containers and tags that are specialised to the requirements of the kind.
Signal Container
When adding a signal, the user is presented with a choice of 12 separate signal containers:
- Signal 1, Signal 2, Signal 3, Signal 4, Signal 5, Signal 6,Signal 7, Signal 8, Signal 9, Signal 10, Signal 11, Signal 12
The numbering of these is meaningful in that each numeric is assigned to a particular signalling state. The states are as follows:
- 0 STOP
- 1 STOP THEN PROCEED
- 2 CAUTION AND LEFT DIVERGE
- 3 CAUTION AND RIGHT DIVERGE
- 4 CAUTION
- 5 PROCEED AND LEFT DIVERGE
- 6 PROCEED AND RIGHT DIVERGE
- 7 ADVANCED CAUTION
- 8 PROCEED
The following two aspects are only used for scenarios....
- 9 SLOW
- 10 MEDIUM SPEED
- light
Sets lighting to be used for object to be ambient or directional. 0 sets ambient lighting and object is lit by general light value, (uniformly lit). 1 sets directional light which is affected by the position of the sun, and the asset shows shaded faces, but not ground shadows.
Lights Container
Each light point needs to have a corona associated with it. Coronas are stored in each signal object's directory alongside it's textures.
- corona
- A corona is a `glow' light effect.
