	 "monthly price" 10T
	 }

Now this is my first time, I've written this on Notepad++ and I'm pretty sure its incorrect, I will add more just wnt to check if this is right?

[Josh]

Did you forget the : at the end?

[Barky]

Better?

Ok and I want it to spawn cars, so I write the seperate code for car then add it here. But where do I put the json for car hen done?

[Lobby]

JSON is standardized, so you can check for example here whether it's valid JSON code.

TheoTown won't accept invalid JSON code, so it's useful to check the code first with such tools.

About your car, I recommend to define it within the same JSON file so you can ensure that it's defined first (which is necessary, otherwise you cannot reference to it). May look like

Code: Select all

[
  {
    // Car
  },
  {
    // Building

Thanks Lobby

Commander it is supposed to spawn go karts which are expensive
Does needs water mean water as in pipes?

[CommanderABab]

No, "needs water" means at least one tile needs to be on water.

And I know I need to add code for car to spawn, just checking that car code is ok and want to know heigh and width

[Barky]

It says in tutorial about heigh and width

Its just the standard go kart image except only 1 type (only red, no other colours)

If I put radius -1 will that make it go as far as it wants?
Whats the width and height of go karts?

Added the road code, somebody please answer my previous questions

[CommanderABab]

W and h depend on the image which looks like?. Count would be 4.

[Barky]

UI downloaded it but it isn't showing up in game
Also how do I add description and will my code make it only go on the rally track?

[Barky]

Yes I was jsut asking,

What about it not showing up in game?

[Barky]

Well I asked if that made it go as far as it wants and got no answer

And even then shouldnt road show up?

Ok,
Will this spawn a single rally car if the garage is built beside the track?
Will only the rally car use the track?
Will the rally car not go on any track?
Will the track be in road section and garage in sport?
Is everything correct?
