Automatic Heartline Generater

I am having trouble figuring out the Automatic Heartline Generater. I have read the tutorial over and over and i still dont get it. Will someone plz help me.

Every time i try to heartline a roller coaster a window comes up and says "something went wrong. Check the speed settings." how do i fix that.

Enter correct speed settings. Use m/s values.

It's not an AHG Generator, it's the auto heartline generator.

^ Thats like saying ATM Machine.

XD

don't use transport sections, NEVER use them, and remember, speed etc is METRIC e.g kilometres not miles, i did that. many fails before i realised XD

So like the tutorial says i have to save everything as an element EXCEPT the station. what about the lift and brakes because if i dont highlight those it doesnt let me save it as an element. Or do i save it a couple segments at a time. Idk.

Ahg generator. lol.... (automatic heartline generator... generator?)

The AHG won't distinguish between normal track, brakes or stations. It is best to heartline everything after the lift to the final brakes (or to the MCBR, if there is one) as one element.

^ Exactly.

The AHG is more like an "Automatic Headache Generator" when you first start using it, so don't be discouraged.

i've trouble too but i think i get it now

what does that AHG thing do anyways?

It modifies the track to so that the center of gravity is (roughly) on the rider's hearts. Making the lateral G's less likely.

While building a coaster before using AHG, think of the track itself as to where the heart line is going to be after using the app. This is actually what AHG does when the track is colored entirely black and the filter is set to a low value. The white color adjusts the banking perfectly depending on the Vin and Vout values used. Bezier calculations at its best.
