Description

This script can give you the ability to connect prop-segmented track pieces fast. It is optimized and brings the track building time consuming to a minimum. It uses pre-defined active points to snap the segments the best way there is in Garry's Mod

General convar factory reset can be easily triggered by the server admins
Convar tweaks is accessible via dedicated in-game manipulation panel
Context menu for direct track entity value export and manipulation
Optional flip mode called from spawning/snapping for quickly flip the anchor across
Track segment flip over mode for mirroring already created loops and curves
Track segment curve node interpolation for building custom track layouts
Track curve fitting aligment based on ray intersection for precise piece layout
Track tangent turn interpolation for utilizing variable curve radius
Extendable DB text file or a lua script[github.com]
Extendable DB text file load list[github.com] and list prefixes[github.com] categories[github.com]
Switching DB storage between SQL for SQL mode and LUA for Lua mode
Spawning pieces on the map for creating custom track layouts
Snapping pieces on the map surface ( if checked )
Snapping/spawning with custom user offsets
Snapping/spawning with zero pitch ( good for track leveling )
Snapping/spawning at the mass-center or the active point ( if checked )
Snapping the first piece yaw to user defined angle
Snapping already spawned pieces by using only the physgun
Fast changing the active track ends ( Alt + SCROLL good switching turns direction )
Custom user defined active radius based snapping
Custom active point and radius location assistant
Custom active point position angle and orientation adviser
Advanced duplicator can be used on the track created
Custom entity properties ( weld, freeze, no-collide )
User can disable phys-gun grabbing on a piece ( good for turntables )
Ability to list up the most used pieces on the server ( E + Right )
Ability to search among the most server popular pieces by Lua patterns[www.lua.org]
Ability to export server and client database as a file
Tool-tips for every button are available and can be translated easily
Ability to spawn scripted track switches of other class ( Ron's 2ft )
Ability to modify the bodygroups and skins of a track piece ( with duping )
Ability to modify track piece suface behavior ( wood, metal, slime, tire )
Ability to extend a track piece spawn with additional entities
Includes integrated wiremod extension

Manual and troubleshooting

When you cannot switch or turn track ends or there is no left turn try ALT + MSCROLL here [github.com]
When the above does not help an you are still trying to turn the tracks try here
When TA does not work as expected and has incorrect output, you can try testing it
You can find the list of the supported addons here[github.com]
The readme is designed to answer your questions[github.com] so do not ignore it

Some people do not have accounts in Githb so here are the releases[github.com]
I no longer bother with making releases as you can obtain a *.ZIP file[github.com]
When you are searching for the wire Expression 2 documentation try here[github.com]
When track packs are not showing in the tree menu and seem to be missing[github.com]

Reuploading and source stealing will not be tolerated !
Selling it is also out of option, as the open source suggests !

Hey how do you get the cross 90 paths to work, no matter what train I use from sig'swolf pack it doesn't like the pathing of it at all

If you need a bigger ezample with more data. You can look at how I did Shinji's pack. In case you need additions. Phys properties are rearly used and ppl do not really do dynamic DSV about them. 😁

Still adding a track pieces on the fly will be neat 😄

Yes buddy there is. You can use personal DSV database extension script.
https://github.com/dvdvideo1234/TrackAssemblyTool/wiki/Database-extension#how-can-i-make-a-script-which-synchronizes-the-database-of-my-track-pack

Just copy the example and add your tracks there 😉

The second option currently works flawlessly. But registering a prop on the fly will be cool too. Thanks for the idea I have to think about it. Will register it as an issue.

Guy Montag 4 Sep @ 9:32pm

@Trick or treat That second and last one is what I meant, yes. Pretty much just an on the fly registering a track piece from a spawned in prop

President of Super Earth 4 Sep @ 7:17pm

Hi Trick,

What amicable timing, Guy Montag actually suggested if this was possible to be used on my extensive road models. Is that something you have to enable/add, or is there a mechanism for someone to do this themselves?

Do you mean the curve interpolation shown here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ws6Jh3JUew
It will make a track curve using small segmentt pieces

Or you need to grab one prop and setup it in-game to become a valid track piece. Then later use it to build your track... Hmm you can use a simple database extension in this case.
https://github.com/dvdvideo1234/TrackAssemblyTool/wiki/Database-extension

Or you simply want a panel to fill your track piece in and it will become valid immediately?

Guy Montag 4 Sep @ 5:11am

Would you be able to add a function that streamlines/automates making props into connectable tracks? I have no clue how complicated that'd be.

Dude come on RTFM. It's up there... ;)
