A question about Monorail

« on: November 24, 2005, 03:12:16 PM »

Hi, I'm wondering, to make something "monorail" in the game, you assign it way=track and system_type=1, how do you assign vehicles to run on monorail track? I've tried way=track and system_type=1 in the vehicle definition, but this doesn't seem to do anything. way=monorail doesn't work either and produces an error in makeobj.

If someone could shed some light on this, I'd be grateful

Try:

waytype=monorail_track

Here's a full sample I stole from prissi Grin

obj=vehicle
name=XTest
waytype=monorail_track
freight=Passagiere
payload=76
engine_type=fuel_cell
speed=160
cost=2400000
weight=40
power=800
RunningCost=88
Sound=-1
intro_year = 1964
intro_month = 11
Constraint[Prev][0]=XTest
Constraint[Prev][1]=XMail
Constraint[Prev][2]=none
EmptyImage=monocar1.0.0
EmptyImage[W]=monocar1.0.1
EmptyImage[SE]=monocar1.2.0
EmptyImage[SW]=monocar1.2.2

Another thing, would it be possible for someone to post the dat file info for the monorail depot as seen in pak64? I am interested in how the dual-height effect is created, am wondering if I could use the same idea to make some monorail stations.

Also, I notice that there is a waytype of maglev_track, which can be applied to both track and to vehicles, though it doesn't show up in any of the menus in-game. Can anyone tell me a little about this waytype?

maglev: Just exists internally.

Foundations for stations: Use a special station building for that. Automatic foundation is just for monorail depot.
