Problems with a procedural plataform

[Ter160 4]

I have just created a procedural platform but I don't know what has happened that does not appear in the TSC test

 

Screenshots:

 

Blueprint, loft section blueprint

 

 

Result in the TSC test, That's where the procedural platform should appear, I don't understand why it doesn't appear

Nothing, everything remains the same as in the previous screenshots

Fixed desactivate the rotate end geometry option in the loft section blueprint:

 

 

New result

What this will do, is make the middle geometry appear every X meters. (X = the value entered here) Note that middle geometry can't cast shadows. (<<--- only applies to rails)

Also, if it's for a platform, you're using the wrong blueprint. Use Platform Section Blueprints for proper platforms. Be sure to set the right Editor Ground Offset to have it automaticly appear at the proper height. For passengers on the platform, enter the DTG Academy passengers under "Platform Character", like this:

 

 

The DTG Academy assets need to be enabled in the route to have the passengers appear.

How do I solve the other ramp on the procedural platform?

[Dwarsligger 242]

If your platform is symmetrical along the X-axis (eg: left and right sides are exactly the same, which seems to be the case), you can enable "rotate end geometry" and mirror the model at it's origin point if it appears like before.

 

If not, you need to not have "Rotate end geometry" enabled, and have seperate begin and end geometries, one facing one way, and one the other. If they appear inside out again, switch the 2 shapes.
 

Also, remember to always use specialized loft shaders on the loft itself and always texture your model so that the texture loops vertically.

 

Use normal texturing like any other object for begin and end geometries.

 

You should have the desired result now.

The symmetrical thing to the X axis, true but the ramps thing I hope I don't have to create two meshes or in the mesh of the ramps the 2 and not a single one in blender, the rest of the answer I don't understand

[Dwarsligger 242]

If you create a platform that isn't symmetrical, then yes, you will need 2 different start and end ramps, or they won't connect to the loft properly.

 

Assymetrical platform:

 

 

Seperate start and end geometries, each pointing the other way:

 

[Ter160 4]

So I need two meshes for the ramps instead of having one, right?

[Dwarsligger 242]

Yes, unless the platform is symmetrical, then you can do it with one.

I think it is symmetrical

[Dwarsligger 242]

First enable "Rotate end geometry" in the platform section blueprint again. Then in the 3d-model just flip the shape along it's length, maintaining the same origin point, like so:

 

Before:

 

 

After:

 

 

If you re-export now, you should be done.

I don't understand is supposed to be behind the procedural platform with a single mesh for the ramp would be enough because the object is symmetrical, I use Blender to make you take note of it, plus I don't know how to flip

[Dutch TrainSimulations 1,734]

mirror (flip) the object.. after you fliped it.. use face orientation to see if the faces are ok.. if not the faces wil be darker..

ok, the ramps, only one mesh or two?, since the procedural platform is symmetrical

[Dwarsligger 242]

Just 1 mesh, facing the other way.

But if I already have one ramp, I will miss the other one, I clarify myself better with screenshots or if not a video

No need. If you don't even understand the concept of "rotating", this is waaaay to difficult for you. All the information you need was already supplied in this topic.

 

So I can't help you anymore, I'm sorry.

I don,t worry

[Dwarsligger 242]

I might have sounded a little harsh before, but it's kinda frustrating if I spend 8 posts explaining you the concept of flipping around, and you still don't understand.

Just keep re-reading this topic untill you understand, the answers ARE in here.

I understand the rotation thing, the problem is that it will make you have a second mesh for the other ramp instead of one

[Ter160 4]

Is this correct for exporting ramps in a single mesh?

You were right about the rotation of a second ramp in the same mesh as the first

There is only one strange problem: two ramps appear on each of the platforms, perhaps it is only necessary to change something in the settings of the loft section blueprint, let's see a total of 4 ramps, which are 2 per side
