*A boolean state is stored per actor; multiple calls to enable editing on a single actor do not need to be matched to multiple calls to disable editing.

*It is counterproductive to call this when transitioning the camera over a short distance (ie. where the source and target locations can see each other). If jumping to a new location, followed by a visual camera transition at the new location, camera editing may be enabled around the target-selection for the jump, and the jump itself, but should be disabled before proceeding with the transition.

  • World is a static class used to access various aspects of the Trainz environment.


Contents

[edit] Constants

  • These constants are used to define various values and can be used as mnenomics.
  • If accessed from scripts the values must be prefixed World., for example: 
World.SetWeather(World.WEATHER_TYPE_LIGHT_SNOW,World.WEATHER_CHANGEABILITY_PERIODIC);


[edit] Camera View Modes

  • These values can be used either to choose the current camera viewing mode through World.SetCameraMode(), or to restrict certain camera modes from being accessed through methods such as World.SetCamera().
public define int CAMERA_INTERNAL = 1 Internal cabin camera view.
public define int CAMERA_EXTERNAL = 2 External train camera view
public define int CAMERA_TRACKING = 4 External tracking camera view.
public define int CAMERA_ROAMING = 128 Roaming camera view.


[edit] Camera Flags

  • These flags are used in addition to the Camera Mode Flags to allow or disallow specific camera actions.
public define int CAMERA_SWITCH_VIEWS = 8 User permitted to swap between the camera views.
public define int CAMERA_SWITCH_VEHICLES = 16 User permitted to swap vehicles within the current train.
public define int CAMERA_SWITCH_TRAINS = 32 User permitted to swap to other trains which are in the consist menu.
public define int CAMERA_LOCKED = 64 User is NOT permitted to adjust camera (i.e. zoom, pan etc.).
public define int CAMERA_NORMAL = * Normal camera mode where everything is permitted.
* NOTE: CAMERA_NORMAL = CAMERA_INTERNAL | CAMERA_EXTERNAL | CAMERA_TRACKING | CAMERA_SWITCH_VIEWS | CAMERA_SWITCH_VEHICLES | CAMERA_SWITCH_TRAINS


[edit] Weather Type Constants

  • Define the current state of the weather in Trainz.
  • A variety of weather conditions are supported and can be changed by using one of these values with the World.SetWeather() method.
public define int WEATHER_TYPE_CLEAR = 0 Clear weather, no clouds, rain or snow.
public define int WEATHER_TYPE_CLOUDY = 1 Cloudy weather, no rain.
public define int WEATHER_TYPE_DRIZZLE = 2 Drizzle, light rain.
public define int WEATHER_TYPE_RAIN = 3 Rainy weather.
public define int WEATHER_TYPE_STORMY = 4 Stormy weather that includes lightning and thunder.
public define int WEATHER_TYPE_LIGHT_SNOW = 5 Snowing lightly.
public define int WEATHER_TYPE_MEDIUM_SNOW = 6 Medium level snow fall.
public define int WEATHER_TYPE_HEAVY_SNOW = 7 Heavy snow fall.


[edit] Weather Changeability Constants

  • Define the changeability settings for the weather.
  • Weather changeability refers to variability of weather conditions rather than to a specific weather type.
public define int WEATHER_CHANGEABILITY_NONE = 0 Weather remains static.
public define int WEATHER_CHANGEABILITY_PERIODIC = 1 Periodic changes in weather.
public define int WEATHER_CHANGEABILITY_EXTREME = 2 Extreme and frequent changes in weather.


[edit] Time Values

  • Time constants defined in seconds.
public define float TIME_SECOND = 1.0f One second.
public define float TIME_MINUTE = TIME_SECOND * 60.0f One minute, 60.0 seconds.
public define float TIME_HOUR = TIME_MINUTE * 60.0f One hour, 60.0 minutes, 3600.0 seconds.
public define float TIME_DAY = TIME_HOUR * 24.0f One day, 24 hours, 1440.0 minutes, 86400.0 seconds.


[edit] Time Rate Constants

  • Values that define the time rates relative to normal time.
  • These constants can be used to set the time rate that Trainz runs out through the World.SetGameTimeRate() method.
public define int TIME_RATE_1X = 0 Real time (i.e. time in Trainz passes at the same rate as in the real world)
public define int TIME_RATE_2X = 1 Time passes at twice normal speed.
public define int TIME_RATE_4X = 2
public define int TIME_RATE_8X = 3
public define int TIME_RATE_16X = 4
public define int TIME_RATE_32X = 5
public define int TIME_RATE_60X = 6
public define int TIME_RATE_120X = 7
public define int TIME_RATE_240X = 8
public define int TIME_RATE_360X = 9
public define int TIME_RATE_480X = 10
public define int TIME_RATE_720X = 11
public define int TIME_RATE_960X = 12
public define int TIME_RATE_1200X = 13
public define int TIME_RATE_1440X = 14


[edit] Layer Type Constants

public define int LAYER_INVALID = 0
public define int LAYER_ROUTE = 1
public define int LAYER_SESSION = 2
public define int LAYER_BOTH = 3


[edit] World Editing Mode Constants

public define int PERMIT_EDIT_WORLD = 0x100
public define int PERMIT_EDIT_LAYERS = 0x200
public define int PERMIT_EDIT_TRAINS = 0x400
public define int PERMIT_EDIT_CONSISTS = 0x800
public define int PERMIT_EDIT_ALL = -1


[edit] Trainz Modules

  • Trainz module mode constants.
  • These values define the various module environments that Trainz can be in.
public define int NO_MODULE = 0 Trainz not running in a module.
public define int SURVEYOR_MODULE = 1 Trainz is currently running in Surveyor.
public define int DRIVER_MODULE = 2 Trainz is currently running in Driver.

[edit] Play2DSound

public float Play2DSound(Asset asset, string wave)
Parameters
  • asset = Asset where the sound file is located.
  • wave = Name of the *.wav file to be played, a relative path can be included.
Returned Value
  • Undefined.
Syntax 
// Play the sound and continues script execution.
   World.Play2DSound(soundAsset,"sounds/allaboard.wav");        
// Wait until sound has completed before continuing (pre-TS12 only!)
   Sleep(World.Play2DSound(soundAsset,"sounds/allaboard.wav"));
Notes
  • Plays a .wav" sound file from the given asset's folder.
  • The sound is non directional and can be mono or stereo.
  • This method does not return after the sound has finished playing, it returns with the length of the sound as soon as it is called.

[edit] PlaySound

public native float PlaySound
    (Asset asset, string wave, float vol, float near, float far, GameObject target, string pt)
    (Asset asset, string wave, float vol, float near, float far, GameObject target, string pt, bool loop)
Parameters
  • asset = Asset where the sound file is located.
  • wave = Name of the *.wav file to be played, a relative path can be included.
  • vol = Volume level to play the sound at (0 to 1)<- These values taken from TRS2019 world.gs file comments
  • near = Distance from the target asset at which the sound will be played at maximum volume.
  • far = Distance from the target asset at which the sound will become inaudible.
  • target = GameObject to which the sound will be attached if a 3d sound is required, null for 2D.
  • pt = Name of attachment point in the target object if a 3d sound is required, null for 2D.
  • loop = (Optional) If true the sound will loop continuously.
Returned Value
  • Sound length in seconds for Trainz before TS12
  • Undefined for TS12 and TANE
Syntax 
// Play the sound and continues script execution.
   World.PlaySound(soundAsset,"sounds/allaboard.wav",1.0,10.0,100.0,Station,"a.loudspeaker");     
// Wait until sound has completed before continuing (pre-TS12 only!)
   Sleep(World.PlaySound(soundAsset,"sounds/allaboard.wav",1000.0,10.0,100.0,Station,"a.loudspeaker");
Notes
  • Plays a .wav sound file from the given asset's folder.
  • If the sound is to be directional a mono sound file is required.
  • This method does not return after the sound has finished playing: it returns as soon as it is called.
  • This means your code will keep on executing while Trainz is playing the sound.
  • If you want to wait for the sound to complete playing before moving on, wrap the PlaySound() call up in a Sleep() call. Note! This works only in Trainz versions before TS12. For newer versions, TS12 and TANE, you can hard-code the duration of the sound, or store it in the extensions container of the config.txt file.
  • The sound volume will be at a maximum for a camera position at or less than the value of the near parameter and will reduce with distance until the hearing position reaches far, when the sound will be inaudible.

  • radius = Distance in metres to the object in focus.
Returned Value
  • None
Syntax 
World.SetCameraAngle(90,0,25); // Sets the camera to a direct frontal view at 25 metres from the currently focused object.
Notes
  • Radius is measured from the object origin point (0,0,0). If there's no target object this will be the distance to the ground.
  • Note difference in units of yaw and pitch depending in the method signature used.
  • The integer version of this method call is obsolete in TRS19.


[edit] SetCameraFlags

public native void SetCameraFlags(int flags)
Parameter
  • flags integer value defining what the user is permitted to do with the game camera.

Notes


[edit] SetCameraMode

public void SetCameraMode(int mode)
Parameter
  • mode = Camera mode to select.
Returned Value

[edit] SetEditingCamera

public void SetEditingCamera(GameObject actor, bool bIsActorEditingCamera)
Parameter
  • actor = The script who is intended to edit the camera position.
  • bIsActorEditingCamera = True to begin editing, or False to end the editing operation.
Returned Value
  • None
Syntax 
World.SetEditingCamera(myScript, true);
Notes
  • Hints to the caching systems that the camera position is in the process of being changed. This may reduce the amount of streaming that will occur until the change is complete.
  • This is intended for use-cases where the decision to move the camera happens in advance of the actual call to SetCamera() or etc., for example when the new camera target needs to be streamed in first.
  • There is no advantage in calling this unless your code then sleeps/waits before undoing the call.
  • It is not required to call this before using SetCamera() etc.
  • A boolean state is stored per actor; multiple calls to enable editing on a single actor do not need to be matched to multiple calls to disable editing.
  • It is counterproductive to call this when transitioning the camera over a short distance (ie. where the source and target locations can see each other). If jumping to a new location, followed by a visual camera transition at the new location, camera editing may be enabled around the target-selection for the jump, and the jump itself, but should be disabled before proceeding with the transition.
  • Added in TRS19?


[edit] SetGameDate

[edit] SetTargetObserver

public void SetTargetObserver(GameObject observer)
Parameters
  • observer = The game object to receive targeting messages.
Returned Value
  • None
Syntax 
SetTargetObserver(self);
Notes
  • It is unlikely a script programmer would ever need to use this method.
  • Causes the specified object to receive "Track", "LeftClick" messages when a track is clicked. Causes the specified object to receive "Interface-Event", "Left-Click" messages when a targetable MapObject is clicked. May cause the functionality of a left mouse click to change from what the user is expecting, so should be used with caution. Used in modal scripts to allow the user to indicate a location for train placement, etc. As there is only a single observer at any given time, the script must take care to only call this function when entering placement mode at the user's request.
