Question RE: Scripting

Not sure if this is the right place for the question. The Dev forum seems to be pretty dead - no recent entries.

Is there a config file or GS command like trigger_radius? I'm looking to set the default trigger radius on some track objects.

TIA,
Chili

See https://online.ts2009.com/mediaWiki/index.php/"attached-trigger"_Container that defines the trigger radius. If you wanted something special to happen, such as some animation, then you probably need a script. There is a good demo of that in Andi Smith's tutorial. https://online.ts2009.com/mediaWiki/index.php/Automating_Animations.

hi Chili, the standard trigger, you can set the radius, select it and have the advanced tab open,
here you can grab and set it


in track objects you can find trigger radius in the config

Yes, I know how to manually set the radius on all triggers (track markers, track direction, turnouts, et al). I'm asking if there's a way to automatically set the radius in the config file or a gs script.

Thanks Paul. The "radius" setting looks like it just might do it. I'll check it out. Much appreciated.

The tag 'radius' is not accesable from asset type KIND Scenery

The asset <kuid:-1:6132> Trigger build 4.6 uses a script /Trackmark.gs, which I can't find anywhere, but if you modified that it may make the change, but that may cause havoc in the game, maybe that's why it's hidden. I think your stuck manually changing the radius's.

Mainly what I wanted to change was Whistle signs:

<kuid:324956:101483> Whistle Sign W w/Horn Seq (L) V2
<kuid:324956:101482> Whistle Sign W w/Horn Seq V2
<kuid:324956:100181> Xing Ahead X Sign w/horn sequencer
<kuid:324956:100183> Xing Ahead X Sign w/horn sequencer (L)

These aren't Scenery as far as I know. They are kind mospeedboard, category class WS.

But you're right, I'm probably stuck with manually changing 100s of whistle signs on a big map.
