Detection Parts
This documentation is for version 2.0, and likely won't be supported or work in older versions.
Trains have 2 "TrainDetectPart" parts that are positioned in the train model to detect other parts on the rails. Track circuit parts are separate, and are moved above each carriage for larger detection parts to detect them. None of the train parts require or check for any children, unlike pre-2.0. All of these parts must be in the DetectionParts folder of the correct carriage. All of these parts will be given an appropriate CollisionGroup when they are registered with the train system, you don't need to change this manually.
Train Parts
TrainDetectPart_F
- Positioned on the rail on the right side of the train, in the DetectionParts folder of the first carriage
- Should be around 1 x 2 x 1 studs in size, but this doesn't really matter as long as it does not encompass over half of the track
- Will be given a CollisionGroup of TrainDetectPart on registering
- Must exist for the train to be considered valid and match the (upcoming) train guidelines
TrainDetectPart_OffsetF
- Positioned on the rail on the left side of the train, in the DetectionParts folder of the first carriage
- Should be around 1 x 2 x 1 studs in size, but this doesn't really matter as long as it does not encompass over half of the track
- Will be given a CollisionGroup of TrainDetectPart on registering
- Must exist for the train to be considered valid and match the (upcoming) train guidelines
- Used for bi-directional speed limits
TrainDetectPart_B
- Positioned on the rail on the left side of the train, in the DetectionParts folder of the last carriage
- Should be around 1 x 2 x 1 studs in size, but this doesn't really matter as long as it does not encompass over half of the track.
- Will be given a CollisionGroup of TrainDetectPart on registering
- Must exist for the train to be considered valid and match the (upcoming) train guidelines
CircuitTrain_DetectPart
- Positioned approximately above the rails, in the DetectionParts folder of each carriage
- Should be at least 3 studs tall to ensure detection
- Will be given a CollisionGroup of CircuitTrain_DetectPart on registering
- Must exist for each carriage for the train to be considered valid and match the (upcoming) train guidelines
JointTrigger
- Must be positioned across the rails, in the DetectionParts folders of carriages
- Should be around the Y position of the rails
- Will be given a CollisionGroup of JointTrigger on registering
- These parts should be aligned to where the train wheels touch the rails, and they will produce a sound when a train passes them
- Does not have to exist for any carriages for the train to be considered valid and match the (upcoming) train guidelines
