KIND MOCrossing

Revision as of 18:49, 18 October 2010

Combined rail and road crossings that react to trains or script control. This allows animation, special lighting effects and attachment points for rail track and roads.

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.
