Use:

TriState (
Type ( FRONT_HLIGHT TRI_STATE )

etc.

Works fine.

Currently this is in the DF11GA.cvf file for the example model that Jtang has posted:

Quote

TriState (
Type ( FRONT_HLIGHT TRI_STATE )
Position ( 194 401 29 23 )
Graphic ( "DF11G_deng.ACE" )
NumFrames ( 3 3 1 )
Style ( NONE )
MouseControl ( 1 )
Orientation ( 0 )
DirIncrease ( 0 )
)

This DOES NOT have a two position movement in the 3DCAB, the code looks the same as you have posted. Did I miss something here?

I made only a two key animation for the headlight, a mistake I think.

This is what I did, and when I start an activity the game crashes and it says it cannot find the player locomotive for this activity.

ORTS3DCab(
          ORTS3DCabFile ( cab.s )
          ORTS3DCabHeadPos ( 8.352 2.116 -0.021 )
          RotationLimit ( 40 60 0 )
          StartDirection ( 12 0 0 )
 	  Sound ( "y2eng.sms" )

)

However, without that code, my train works. What did I do wrong?

[RTP]

Where is located this code ?

[Fahrenheit]

I placed it below Sound, which is immediately after the light section in the .eng file.

[JTang]

Please attach the eng file here.

It can stay there. Maybe the closing parenthesis of the Wagon() block missing? Here is how it is done in JTang's example:

   	Sound (	"DF11Geng.sms" )
	ORTS3DCab(
            ORTS3DCabFile ( Cab.s )
            ORTS3DCabHeadPos ( -0.9 2.4 5.2 )
            RotationLimit ( 40 60 0 )
            StartDirection ( 12 0 0 )
 	    Sound ("DF11Geng.sms" )
	)
)

Engine ( DF11G_0001

Would you like to attach the complete .eng file to a post?

PS JTang has preceded me.

I now managed to get it In Game, however when I rotate the camera just a little bit, the whole interior goes invisible. It then re-appears if I either return the camera to its original position or if I rotate it about 90 degrees. The whole "back part" of the cab can be viewed, until about 180 degrees later when it becomes invisible. Then it becomes visible when I rotate it back to its original position.
Also, what do I name the combined handle (throttle/brake) control?

[RTP]

Like that:

CombinedControl (
Type ( CP_HANDLE COMBINED_CONTROL )
etc..

Cheers.

RTP.

Ah, move backward a bit the point of view.

Hello,

Is it possible to add extra head positions or the ability to pan on the horizontal axis. I am currently experimenting with an island cab locomotive, I can get the drivers head position correct but when rotating 180 degrees to drive in reverse the view is dominated by a chunky window pillar and door frame. Could also be used to represent the secondman/driver's assistant view or a fireman's view for steam locos.

Cheers,
J.
