Transport Tycoon Forums

So, I'm coding articulated road vehicles. These have a tractor and one or more trailers.

I'd like to prevent the trailers appearing in the buy menu. I know it's possible because Zephyris coded the original grf for me and the trailers he provided don't appear in the buy menu. The ones I have added *do* appear.

I have been over the action 0, action and action 3 code for both vehicles several times, and I can't see what's different, apart from capacity and refittable classes. I've also read the TTDPatch wiki documentation for those actions several times tonight to see if I've missed a property, or a value of a property that should be set.

I am off to look over my code yet again, but can anyone hit me with a clue stick as to where I should be looking?

cheers,

Andy

Just shift them over to Toyland. That´s how it´s usually done with locomotive tenders.

Thanks for the tip. I looked at property 06 (climate) in Zephyris's code and found that he'd set it 00. That seems to work well.

Can't you disable a Vehicle ID for all climates, including Toyland? GRFMaker got that option, so I guess NFO does too.

Yes, by setting the climate bits (prop 06) to zero, i.e. "06 00". However, every other value does the trick as well, only in case you´re testing for a "wrong" climate.

With very little effort you can make it work correct in Toyland too
