Door Control

[susanaes]

Hey guys is there a way to like open certain doors on a train? Like say you have a station that isn't passenger enabled its like a custom station that only fits one car. is there a way to just open only that cars door and not the whole train.

Before anyone else posts, I just want to point out that susanaes is not looking for the "Load Passengers" or "Door Control" rule already on the DLS, as those control all the doors on a consist. Rather, he's looking for something where you can choose which doors open and which do not. Something like what you'd see at Mount Pleasant on the MTA MNRR Harlem Line, where only one door on one car opens.

Thank you Scott thats want im looking for its mostly for my Amtrak trains cuz im using this NEC Type route and at some of the stations not all cars will fit on the platform. and yes i do have both of those commands he talked about.

You could have a separate mesh and animation for every door and a script that chooses which ones will open using a random number generator.

Unfortunately with a long train this would add a lot to the cpu and graphics processor load and could affect frame rate.

I achieve a similar result by having a 90 frame animation which does not open all door and those that do open start at different frames during the animation so that all doors do not swing open or close at the same time.

That sounds kinda hard. now im not trying to sound lazy but is there an easier way someone at TCR said something about a custom scrip?

Is there a way i could make my own Door command?
