I know it's no help , but , " works for me " is all I got . Cclean OS backup installed this morning , fresh D/L of the steam app and clean install of RW .. the only thing different this time as compared to other times I've done this was a prompt to D/L the correct flashplayer for steam , this is the file I've kept >> install_flashplayer10ax_gtbp_chrd_aih.exe << from Adobe ... short of pic as proof of worky I'm not sure what the problem would be ,, sounds like an OS thingie maybe ?

Sub system blueprint?? That's always existed. (has it?)

thanks,

The track rules blueprint has an option for superelevation. No luck so far in trying to get it in game though.

In world editor, the space bar cycle through track properties now has 2 additional stages; I assume 1 is for superelevation and the other for track unevenness. By default, blue seems to indicate non-SE track and yellow track with SE enabled.

Has the "Interior Output Display" interface control been beefed up in engine blueprint? If so it would seem that we can make interactive computer screens now.

I've found a new "feature"

Code: Select all

Call( "GetIsPlayer" )
Call( "GetIsEngineWithKey" )

both of these lua script commands always returns 0 if i write out them. But always return true if it put into and if like this: if Call( "GetIsPlayer" ) then
Of course that it's player controlled or not, doesn't matters
It's a bug not feature?

All Call functions will return 1 for true and 0 for false. Unfortunately, 0 does not mean true in LUA. You need to write Call( "GetIsPlayer" ) == 1

I see. I've wrote a fake engine(because it's a diesel electric loco so i need it to make it's sound corrected), and a fake throttle methods(like class 86 have) to simulate real traction attributes because the built in traction physics is not so good...
So i've wanted to write a method that starts the engine script update(which calls the fake engine fake throttle, warning system simulation methods) only if the loco is controlled by train, and don't start when it controlled by AI.
If i put in to Initialise() function it always returns 0, also if i put it to Setup() method. Then the only solution is to start the Update() and check in every frame that it is a player train or not. Not so optimal, but better then calling those methods for AIs.
Perhaps another automatically invited method would be useful, something like ControlStateChange() what would be called when the loco's control state changes (player jumps in, or ai start to control it), so the GetIsPlayer can be called from there(once or just several times), and not for every update.

OnControlValueChange() perhaps? that's already there, but it only seems to work with controls that have keybindings ( something to check up on with RW3, actually ). I'm pretty sure I use GetIsPlayer in Initialise() ok, but obviously if you jump in it after the scenario start it's not going to run Initialise again. How about try adding a handler to OnControlValueChange() to check if the Startup controller changed, and check for the player there. IIRC there was definitely one control that reset when you got in.

[crazyfrogbro]

OnControlValueChange() invited everytime when something changes (not just when the player's control changed, so it's invited for simulation values too RPM, ammeter, etc).

Getisplayer works in initialise, but it always returns 0, in standard scenarios too. Probably because it's invited earlier than the player actually gets the control.

Thanks Derek for Information.

In RW3? because it definitely didn't get invoked for every control change in RW2.
