View source for KIND Buildable

[[KIND Buildable]] is a variant of [[KIND SceneryWithTrack]], and may be used in place of a normal scenery item where buildable or attached-track mechanisms are required. It does not support industry processes; [[KIND Industry]] should be used for that purpose.

==Supported Tags==
[[KIND Buildable]] supports all of the [[KIND SceneryWithTrack]] tags, and adds the following tags. Each tag is shown here with its default value.

  building-cost
  {
    duration 0
  }


'''duration''' - The duration (real-time seconds) over which an instance of this asset is built once instructed to begin building.


==Asset Configuration==

A [[KIND Buildable]] asset provides additional functionality extending [[KIND SceneryWithTrack]] if, and only if, a mesh-table entry named 'potential' exists. If this mesh-table entry does not exist, the asset is treated as a regular [[KIND SceneryWithTrack]]. The documentation on this asset type describe the scenario where the 'potential' mesh exists.

A [[KIND Buildable]] asset should contain the following named entries in its mesh-table:

* 'potential'
* 'building-0'
* 'building-N' (where N represents each consecutive integer.)
* 'default'

The meshes should not be configured to ''auto-create''. 

When initially placed, instances of this asset type will show using their 'potential' mesh. While building, the mesh will step through the appropriate 'building-N' meshes over the build duration. Upon completion, the 'default' mesh is displayed.

By default, the user can access 'Build' and 'Cancel' commands through the Driver RMB contextual menu. Access to these commands can be limited via script. Canceling a build reverts the instance to the fully unbuilt state.
