Variables in NML?

[Donald Duck]

I'm trying to make a battery-driven locomotive, so that it charges when it's on electrified tracks and discharges when it's on non-electrified tracks. To do this, I would like to store how much battery it has in a variable. Here is some pseudo-code showing approximately what I want to do:

Code: Select all

switch(FEAT_TRAINS, SELF, switch_battery_charge, current_railtype){
    RAIL: -1;
    ELRL: 2;
}

item(FEAT_TRAINS){
    var battery = 100;

    //Repeat the following every unit of time
    battery += switch_battery_charge;
}

Is there a way to do this in NML?

no. vehicles don't have any storage like that.

The best you can do is have different power, top speed, TE, or different running costs, while on different track.
