Class Train

From TrainzOnline
Jump to: navigation, search


  • A train is a collection of vehicles in TRS.
  • They act as a single entity and may be controlled using this class.
  • A train is placed on a track in script by using World.CreateTrain() or TrainUtil.CreateTrainFromSoup().
  • Trainz will automatically create a Train object for each consist that appears in the game.
  • When an existing train is uncoupled and split up into two separate consists a new train object is created.
  • Similarly when two trains couple one of the train objects is destroyed.

Returned Value
  • None
Syntax
