Class Cabin
From TrainzOnline
- This class is the interface class used for cabins and interior assets in Trainz.
- From the scripting perspective, a Cabin is mainly a collection of controls.
- What controls the cabin has depends on the configuration of the asset.
- If a cabin asset is to have custom scripted features, it's script class will need to be derived from this one.
- The types of controls a cabin has is locomotive specific hence this class is the interface and not a cabin implementation.
- The DefaultLocomotiveCabin and DefaultSteamCabin classes provide basic default Cabin implementations.

Attach
public void Attach(GameObject owner)
- Parameters
- owner = GameObjet to which the cabin will be attached, normally a Locomotive.
- Returned Value
- None
- Notes
- A callback method used by the game engine when it is about to attach this cabin to an object.
- A cabin is destroyed when it is no longer needed and re-created by Trainz later on if needed again.
- This method is where you should restore any saved cabin control settings.
- A Locomotive object has a cache of cabin control settings that can be saved to when the cabin is updated (see Locomotive.GetCabinData())
- The programmer will need to update and make use of cabin settings in their implementation of this method.
FireAddCoal
public native bool FireAddCoal(void)
- Parameters
- None
- Returned Value
- True if coal is added successfully, false otherwise.
- Syntax
FireAddCoal();
- Notes
GetControls
public native CabinControl[ ] GetControls(void)
- Parameters
- None
- Returned Value
- An array of the CabinControl objects applicable to the cabin.
- Syntax
CabinControl[] controls = GetControls();
- Notes
GetNamedControl
public native CabinControl GetNamedControl(string name)
- Parameters
- name = Name of control to return.
- Returned Value
- A reference to the named control if it exists, null otherwise.
- Syntax
CabinControl control = GetNamedControl("brake");
- Notes
GetParentObject
public native GameObject GetParentObject(void)
- Parameters
- None
- Returned Value
- A reference to the parent GameObject to which the cabin is attached, usually a Locomotive.
- Syntax
Locomotive loco = cast<Locomotive>cabin.GetParentObject();
- Notes
IsActive
public native bool IsActive(void)
- Parameters
- None
- Returned Value
- True if the cabin is currently active, false otherwise.
- Syntax
bool cabinExists = cabin.IsActive();
- Notes
SetCabLightIntensity
public native void SetCabLightIntensity(float intensity)
- Parameters
- intensity' = A normalised lighting level in the range 0.0..1.0
- Returned Value
- None
- Syntax
SetCabLightIntensity(0.5);
- Notes
Update
public void Update(void)
- Parameters
- None
- Returned Value
- None
- Notes
- This is a callback method used by Trainz to update the cabin object.
- This implementation is empty so the script programmer must implement it if they want their cabin's controls to be updated.
- If you want to keep the controls in the cabin up to date and to accurately reflect the current state of the locomotive, you will need to perform those updates from an overridden implementation of this method.
- This is mostly a case of querying the current status of the host locomotive and applying it to the matching control.
- The speedometer in the cab for instance should be updated based on the loco's current velocity.
UserPressKey
public void UserPressKey(string keyName)
- Parameters
- keyName = The name of the key pressed.
- Returned Value
- None
- Notes
- This is a callback method used by Trainz when the user presses a key.
- The default Cabin implementation does not handle any keystrokes. You must do so in your own overridden implementation.
UserSetControl
public void UserSetControl(CabinControl control, float value)
- Parameters
- control = The control that the user has operated.
- value = The value to assign as a result of the user's action.
- Returned Value
- None
- Notes
- This is a callback method used by Trainz when the user presses a key.
- You should override this method to apply the settings selected by the user.
