✅Problem with Frame Alignment in "park" plugins

#1

Post by mdk_813 »

Hi,
I noticed that plugins that use "frame alignment" do not work properly when they are in the "park" category.
You can draw a straight line but then you can't start a new line from the last frame, you have to start in a tile next to it. Visually, it gives the same results but handlingwise it is not very pleasant.
The same plugin works perfectly fine, however, when "decoration" is set as category.
Is that intended?

Parks are permanent buildings as opposed to decorations which you can build a road through.

Ah thanks, that explains it, I guess.
My theory was that it could have to do with the park influence.
But it is alright, I'm fine with putting it in the deco menu.

Yes, it's as @CommanderABab said. But as category and building type are decoupled now you can put it in any category although it's type is decoration.

For example

Code: Select all

"category":"$cat_park00"
would put your plugin into the park menu.

Thanks!

So I would have to set it like this:

Code: Select all

"type":"decoration",
"category":"$cat_park00"
Good to know.
But it only works in the latest beta, right?

Yes, the public version is a bit behind. At least older version won't crash if you use the "category"-attribute.
