The ACTUAL tutorial on flags

#1

Post by FranchuFranchu »

Since KoalaGuy was deleted, all his posts are gone. One of those posts was about flags. So here I am remaking the tutorial


Flags are used to make certain cars go only in certain roads. In the game it is used in the bus road.
First, you have to make a road with the flag

Code: Select all

[
  {
    "id":"$testroad00",
    "type":"road",
    "level":1,
    "speed":2.0,

    "frames":[{"bmp":"road.png","w":32,"h":16,"count":16}],
    "flag normal":false, //No cars can go here
    "flag pkw":true //But passenger cars can
  }
]
Next, we will have to make a car that drives here

Code: Select all

[
  {
    "id":"FranFran.carplugin00",
    "type":"car",
    "frames":[
      {"bmp":"carsample.png","w":18,"h":12,"count":4}
    ],
    "v2":true,
    "flag normal":false, //this is not a normal car
    "flag pkw":true //this is a passenger car!
  }
]

Done!

Version 390 will allow you to reference to your own flags by name. To allocate a flag that's called "lobby_newflag you may just write :json

Code: Select all

"allocate flag":["lobby_newflag"]  // "allocate flag":"lobby_newflag would work, too
To use it, write :json

Code: Select all

"flag lobby_newflag":true
You should add the definition above to every plugin which uses it (redefinition is therefore explicitly allowed). Just ensure that your flag name is some kind of unique.

⚠There's a limit of 20 custom flags in total.

Pkw are trucks.
Lkw might be cars.

They appropriately mean personenkraftwagen and lastkraftwagen.
