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


Contents

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);


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.


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


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.


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.


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.


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


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.

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
  • The length of the sound file in seconds.
  • In TS12 the returned value is undefined, see notes below under "PlaySound"
Syntax 
// Play the sound and continues script execution.
   World.Play2DSound(soundAsset,"sounds/allaboard.wav");        
// Wait until sound has completed before continuing.
   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.
  • 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 Play2DSound() call up in a Sleep() call. Doesn't work in TS12, see notes in PlaySound below.
  • Remember that Sleep() can't always be used.


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
  • 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
  • The length of the sound file in seconds.
  • NOTE: In TS12, the returned value is now undefined, and currently always returns '10'. This is to remove the performance cost of having to read the file from disk immediately to determine the sound length before the function can complete. While a fixed value Sleep() would be more efficient, you can can also use Sleep(wave.size()) immediately following the PlaySound to pause execution for the duration of the sound.
Syntax 
// Play the sound and continues script execution.
   World.PlaySound(soundAsset,"sounds/allaboard.wav",1000.0,10.0,100.0,Station,"a.loudspeaker");        
// Wait until sound has completed before continuing.
   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 with the length of the sound 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.
  • Remember that Sleep() can't always be used.
  • 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.
