Are you reusing an existing script or rolling your own?

I'd be very tempted to copy some one else's script especially on the Bluestar or ACS couplings. Paul Hobbs ones work well, and he is usually happy for you to copy them if you ask first. I always consider the scripting bit as none trival.

Which version of Trainz re you creating for? ACS has now replaced Blue Star and I think it might even work in TRS2004. What functionality do you want? Then find a asset with the same functionality and use the script after first asking permission.

Bluestar in particular had a problem when coupling a large number of wagons together that needed a modification to the script.

oh right i see thats proberly why im having trouble at the minute

well im going to make them comapible with 2004 and above im using trs2006 though so im not too sure how it'll work yet Tom Young is helping me out with most of it but he isn't too sure how to do it with CCP

i have copied the script from one of eldavo's wagons he has all couplestar configs on his wagons then i just altered a few things in CCP to suit my wagon

by the way John are you any good at using the couplestar feature if so could you take allok at my wagons and see what the problem is that'll be most helpfull

thanks

ACS is compatible with TRS2004., check my longfit wagons on the DLS.

First get yourself a copy of TS2010 so you can catch the errors more easily. I suspect you have a number of minor errors here and TS2010 at least points them out. TRS2006 is not as helpful.

Next you have something wrong with your mesh, pm2im corrected it but something is wrong in GMAX. I only managed to bring up the JHA ELC wagon by the way. I assume you have further work to do on the textures?

I'd suggest you start with a wagon with the same functionality ie ACS couplings will do fine, does your wagon have a visible load? Then put the same attachment points on your GMAX file. Use exactly the same names. ACS basically replaces Bluestar its a little more robust.

Clone the asset you have used as a model, easy to do in TS2010, then drop in your mesh and see what you get. I might even go so far as to use the same mesh name on the export. I tend to use body.im for everything these days it saves hunting for spelling mistakes.

I regret to say I've forgotten a lot of GMAX as I use Blender these days so you'll have to work through this on your own.

I look forward to seeing the completed models.
