Also trains going at 128mph LOL
Great track choice actually. I might steal that.
Problem is, there's only 1 track type to use: straight track
Well not in the USA
That's nothing:
I've set trains to insane speeds before and it's hilarious watching them go along leaving single puffs every few hundred feet while the "choo choo" noise is still the same as it goes along at lethal speeds.
It might have to be based on railway track, but it won't have to run on railway track to work:
I have no idea if it has to be based on railway track but if it works when you change the track type then very probably not. I haven't actually tried it, since I've never had cause to make a ride that has the smoke effects.
The smoke effects are actually hard-coded to go with the trains, the track type doesn't matter.
So all you'd need is a set of empty train sprites (and probably to disassociate the train sounds).
It'd only be useful vs. an animated scenery object if you needed it to move around, though.
So I decided to experiment a bit with this. I can confirm that the track type has nothing to do with it - taking the steam trains and putting them on coaster track changed nothing.
Instead, it's set by a flag in the ride vehicle structure - specifically, var_11. Setting this flag alone doesn't enable the smoke effect though - it seem that it is a requirement that the ride also be animated. Setting both animation and var_11 results in the smoke.
Because it is set on a per-vehicle basis, you can have more than one vehicle producing smoke and you can choose which vehicle should produce the smoke.
Now, can anyone think of a use for this? As in, a non-train ride that should have smoke? All I could think of was a rocket powered coaster, which would be cool but not exactly realistic.
Snoop Dogg with real smoke.
