How can I customize the orientation of a crossing freely on a track and choose any angle?

[vincentrh]

Sardo asked me : 'Is there any chance you can make an adjustable Traffic Stopper ? I am making a route and I have single crossings but only at slight angle to the road'

Thanks to the property of the TRC system, it's quite easy (for those who don't know what TRC is , see these pages : TRC V4)

On a track, where you want your crossing, place a Traffic Stopper <kuid2:458053:100954:3> TRC Traffic Stopper 2 tracks and orient it as desired.


Connect a road to it, place scenery barriers and a TRC trigger on the track. But do not connect the track to it !


As usual with the TRC system, you will name the different objects constituing the crossing using the naming convention XXX&YYY (again, see TRC V4)

And here is the result :

i've been doing this same exact method for months now and it took you this long to figure it out Vincent and tell us about it?

I think he was answering someone named Sardo and decided to post it for the rest of us who might not know how.

You are right Forester1.
@RetroRails12 : The device, which I already mentioned on French forums several years ago, is completely effective and there's no need, in my opinion, to resort to anything else.
However, don't hesitate to transform or adapt one of my traffic stoppers. Like all my work on DLS, they are free of copyright.

should of mentioned that before in your original comments

I have done that for years now. There may be a problem because the road may sit not on level with the track, so you have to height adjust the crossing. Some of the assets have a piece of track that would be visible. So, I connect an invisible track to it, rendering the crossing literally invisible. Another problem I have not been able to fix. is that sometimes the cars stop too close to the tracks making the train to "run over the vehicle". But overall, these are great assets I use everywhere,

is there some reason you have to be such an inconsiderate jerk to the guy who provided us all with the system? talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Thank you Therock for your kind words.

But it takes more than that to really upset me.

What really matters to me are all the Trainz users who appreciate my system!

Of course! TRC is easily the best thing that has ever happened to grade crossings in any version of this game. Thank you for continuing to support it!

I really like the TRC system for its ease of use and quick setup of crossings. I wish other things were this easy including Interlocking Towers.

I've really enjoyed using TRC assets for my routes. It's a simple system that takes me very little time to implement. Seriously thank you for creating a fantastic system and keep up the great work vincentrh.
