Trainz/containers/attached-track container

attached-track container

edit

The Attached-track container is used by kind SceneryWithTrack to identify a list of track subcontainers. Each track derives its name from the subcontainer's tag name. These names are used from script. Each track is auto-generated spline track through attachment points located within the default mesh.

  • Attached-tracks update automatically to the spline track connected to it in Surveyor. You may over-ride this auto-update feature by adding useadjoiningtracktype 0 (see below).
  • Correct track end attachment orientation is essential. The Y axis must point ‘out’ at the correct angle. The Z axis must point ‘up’.


Track subcontainer

edit

Each track subcontainer supports the following tags and subcontainers. Each tag is shown here with its default value.

track                   (no default value, this must be track kuid)
useadjoiningtracktype   1
vertices                {}


track

edit
Type: Kuid
Desc: Kuid of the track or spline to be used.

useadjoiningtracktype

edit
Type: Boolean
Desc: If true (1) then the track type will change to match that of the first track joined to the object.

vertices

edit
Type: Vertices container
Desc: This is a list of attachment points of where the track will be attached. Each entry must have a name.

Standard Config defines

TBS Standard definitions

edit

These tags and containers are standard definitions which are likely found in nearly all assets. Some tags are optional, and may not be defined by content creators, as their choice. Tags are keywords, and have a single assigned key-value or containers such as a string-array or '{' ... '}' bounded enclosed tag-value pairs or sub-containers. (Everything declared in Trainz config files is in pairs, for even '{' ... '}' is considered a 'key-value'.

  • Containers are collections of 'key' and 'key-value' pairs and 'upper-level containers' in the TBS (as opposed to sub-containers such as those within the thumbnails container) are generally suffixed by '-table'.
