KIND: TUNNEL

Description

Road and rail tunnel variable length splines. These allow the spline to be placed below ground and usually require an integrated initiator and termination mesh as a tunnel entrance.

Container Structure

A well formed tunnel kind has the following container structure:

See Chapter 7 for an example asset of this kind.

TAGS AND CONTAINERS

The following tags are further defined in Chapter 5:

kuid

Generated automatically by Content Manager.

trainz-build

Automatically set to 2.9 for 2009 assets.

category-class

Should be "TT” - Tunnel. See the "Track" section of Category Class.

category-region

See Category Region for a list of valid category-region values.

category-era

See Category Era for a list of valid category-era values.

username

Asset username. This will be the name that appears in the surveyor menu.

kind

Must be "bridge". ERROR ?? should be "tunnel"?

rgb

This value should be left as default.

height

Height from the track level to the base. Must be a positive value in order to place the tunnel under the ground.

bridgetrack

Kuid of the track type to be used.

kuid-table

The kuid of the track\road used in the asset should be present here, as should those of any other referenced assets.

Additional Tags

bendy

Switches how track is bent on corners, set as 1 allows the mesh to be deformed as the spline is bent around corners.

carrate

Defines traffic density on road (minimum seconds between each car generated). 0 = No traffic. Number must be greater than 3.

casts_shadows

Toggles whether the shadow model is displayed.

endlength

Length in metres of the initiator and terminator models.

grounded

Height in metres for the road to be offset from terrain.

isroad

Specifies track is a road with cars, set to 1 for cars to appear on road.

istrack

0 = This is not rail tracks.

1 = This is rail track. (isroad must be 0 or omitted)

length

Length of track segment in metres

repeats

The number of times the mesh is placed between spline points

shadows

Leave as default 0 (unticked box).

upright

Specifies whether the bridge "legs" point vertically, or perpendicular to the spline.

visible-on-minimap

Specifies whether the object\track is displayed on the minimap.

width

Width of track mesh in meters.

bridgetrack

Kuid for the type of rail or road used on bridge.

height

Height from the track level to the base, should be negative.

trackoffsets

Distance in meters the rail/s are attached to the center of the spline. Any number of tracks can be attached to the spline, only splines with the same track offsets can be connected together.

divider

Name of the model to use as the middle bridge section. Placed in subfolder with same name. dont-flip-terminator Terminator model isn't mirrored on one side.

hidden

Prevents the spline from being rendered.

initiator

Name of model to use at start of bridge, placed in subfolder with same name.

invisible

Specifies whether the object is invisible in driver.

terminator

Name of model to use at end of bridge, placed in subfolder with same name.
