Moving Rail Carts : III

» Fri May 27, 2011 9:49 pm

Recently, I have been making improvements on a mod I have made. It is NoM Compatible and I added on a new region below the Histaang Forest region. I named this the Histaang Sea. I built a special player fortress where there is a quest to access. I have been thinking, is it possible to create an underground mine Rail system that ACTUALLY MOVES? I was also wondering if it could even turn at certain points. It would be AMAZING if someone could help. If this is possible, I would happily share the design. I havn't finished it all yet, but I am trying to get it don asap. A recommendation on what type of interior to use that when a player is riding, that they do't collide with the ceiling of an interior cell. Thanks.

Yeah, it's doable. I think that Steampunk mod had moving underground trains, maybe check that out?

You can use SetPos to move the cart and the player. Something like this (completely untested, not even tried to compile it):

Okay, I am posting the rail length to have others, like you, create a script.
Y-AXIS: 42560 -> -2880 = -45440 units on the Y axis ( This track does not turn, but it seems that it goes off the edge of an interior cell? I activated water, for I was using a mounhold sewer. The water just.... Stopped. Will it still work? I also tried to access through khuul, and it blacked out and closed. It's supposed to go all over the place, long and fast to balmora, Vivec, Vos, and other places. No warning box or anything.) Thanks
