After re-reading the manual again, am i correct in that you can have more than one continuous
Freight Animation in the same wagon?

I'm trying to get three coal Freight animations in the same wagon, but only the first one is loaded ?

Thanks

You can have more than one continuous freight animation defined in the same wagon, but you can have only one type of freight at a certain moment. If you want to change freight, you first have to unload the actual freight and then you can load the new freight.

Okay. Thanks for the explanation.

Carlo

I have now added a coal loading pickup but i seem to have some problems.

Here is my setup in the wag:-

include ( ../MEP-HAA2-Loaded.wag ) 
Wagon ( 
ORTSFreightAnims 
( 
    MSTSFreightAnimEnabled (0) 
    WagonEmptyWeight(13t) 
    IsGondola(0) 
    UnloadingStartDelay (1) 
    FreightAnimContinuous 
    ( 
    IntakePoint ( 0.0 3.0 FreightCoal ) 
    Shape( MCLW_HAA_Load2.S ) 
    MaxHeight(0.0) 
    MinHeight(-3.70) 
    FreightWeightWhenFull(32.00t) 
    FullAtStart(1) 
    )
    FreightAnimContinuous
    (
    IntakePoint ( 0.0 3.0 FuelCoal )
    Shape( MCLW_HAA_Load2.S ) 
    MaxHeight(0.0)
    MinHeight(-2.35)
    FreightWeightWhenFull(32t)
    FullAtStart(0)
    )
) 
) 



In the route ref file, before the load pick up:-

Pickup   (
Filename        ( "ALG_CoalunloadingBldg.s" )
Class           ( "Pickup Objects" )
PickupType      ( _FREIGHT_COAL_ )
Description     ( "Coal_Unloader" )
)


And the REF file with both pickups:-

Pickup   (
Filename        ( "ALG_CoalunloadingBldg.s" )
Class           ( "Pickup Objects" )
PickupType      ( _FREIGHT_COAL_ )
Description     ( "Coal_Unloader" )
)

Pickup   (
Filename        ( "ALG_CoalunloadingBldg.s" )
Class           ( "Pickup Objects" )
PickupType       ( _FUEL_COAL_ )
Description     ( "Coal_loader" )
)


When i reach the unload point, the coal unloads as intended( minus no sound from the ctower.sms). But when i reach the next pickup point to load the coal, this does not work.

The loading pickup point has a positive fill rate, so im unsure why i cannot load the coal on the wagons after unloading them.

I believe i'm overlooking something so simple i cannot see it!

Any ideals?

Thanks

When I have a moment of time I will check. So you are unloading freight coal and loading fuel coal. Are unloading and loading pickups at same position?

That is correct

No, they are in different positions.


Also i have notice that a pickup set at 'fuel coal' has working sounds from the ctower.sms but a pickup set as 'freight coal' has no sounds.

Can confirm the coal sound now works using 'FreightCoal'.

Thanks
