CCG/Kind: MOCrossing

KIND: MOCROSSING

This is an example level crossing consisting of script animated boom gates, and flashing lights, however, only the config.txt entries are discussed here. Some duplicate entries in the config.txt file for the corona effects are not shown to conserve space.

Note that an animated mocrossing can be created without the use of scripts, the animation being triggered automatically by a train. Animation events may also be linked to an animation key-frame to give control over effect and script timing.

The track and road types are specified in the attached-track and the meshes are within the mesh-table. An invisible road KUID may be useful for this type of model.

Breakdown:

class

Script class.

script

Script file name.

kuid-table

Lists the dependencies (track, road, corona)

mesh

Name of the default mesh model.

anim

Animation file attached to the default mesh.

att

Attachment point for the sub mesh.

att-parent

Defines the mesh to which the sub mesh is attached.

auto-create 1

The mesh is visible when the model is placed.

effects

The attached effects (coronas).

directional 0

The default alignment is overridden so the corona always faces the screen.

texture-kuid

KUID for the corona.

attached-track

Track type that will be joined between the attachment points, The names "a.track" and "a.road" are not mandatory, any name using the "a.name" convention may be used. The attachment points are defined in the model mesh. Refer to Page 91for attachment orientation.

useadjoiningtracktype 0

prevents the track used being updated to match the attached track.

string-table

A list that can be accessed in script/scriptlet code.
