The ACTUAL tutorial on flags

[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!
Original topic

All possible flags:
"flag all"
"flag normal"
"flag pkw"
"flag lkw"
"flag bus"
"flag tram"
"flag airport"
"flag pedestrian"
"flag military"
"flag user0"
"flag user1"
...
"flag user9"

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

Code: Select all

"allocate flag":["lobby_newflag"]  // "allocate flag":"lobby_newflag would work, too

To use it, write

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.

What do PKW and LKW stand for respectively

[CommanderABab]

Pkw are trucks.
Lkw might be cars.

[JustAnyone]

They appropriately mean personenkraftwagen and lastkraftwagen.
