BuildStation station_id?

[Kev!]

Howdy,

Another noobtion ...I am trying to build my first bus station and the call needs a station id? How do I know the station id if it hasn't been built yet? If i just put in a number like 1 it does not error out, but that can't be right...right?

I tried to look at some of your code but am not seeing it...

Please advise,
Kev!

Please tell us what code you tried to use. Then we can give you advice without having to write an essay.

The station ID is for distant-join, i.e. if you want to join the station with an existing one.
Use AIStation::STATION_NEW for a completely new station.

station_id The station to join, AIStation::STATION_NEW or AIStation::STATION_JOIN_ADJACENT.

Frosch,

Thank you for a short to the point response that actually answers my question! You have my eternal gratitude...


I will now try using AIStation::STATION_NEW in my BuildStation call.

I have a feeling I may need to get a loan before I can build anything?

Howdy,

Uh...just for the record...where exactly in the API documentation would I have found that?

AIStation::STATION_NEW

Annoying noobs want to know,
Kev!

You can find it here, it is what frosch has quoted.

You don't need to take a loan first if the bus station is the only thing you build so far, check the error with

Code: Select all

AILog.Info(AIError.GetLastErrorString());

Do not forget to set the current road type first:

Code: Select all

AIRoad.SetCurrentRoadType(AIRoad.ROADTYPE_ROAD);

Ha Ha! I just needed to Scroll down in AIRoad? I was gonna brag about finding it in the AIBaseStation section...I feel like a noob!

It's working! Thanks...

You are ALL awesome,
Kev!
