Attach .dae

Hello fellow craziers,

I'm currently working on a Gerstlauer eurofighter with scenery and I want to attach a custom object to the train. All the files I make are .dae files from sketchup. They load well in NoLimits and I wanted to make the cars a little bit more interesting too. I found a script that should allow me to do so but it didn't work for me. I did a little research and found that it is necesarry for the object to be a .3ds. Is this true or should it be possible to script a .dae file too? And if so, does sombody know how? I am not really an expert in scripting, this is my first coaster with custom made scenery

Kind regards

I'm not great at scripting but it'll be useful to eveyrone if you post your script using the [ script ] [ / script ] tags in case you've made an error in your script?

I used the script from this site and pasted in notepad++ :s

Did it return an error?

No it did nothing at all. i followed the instructions right as far as i know but maybe im just to blond to use these kind of things yet xD

Hi... it doesn??t have to be a .3ds. It can be one of the supported NL formats .. (lwo, dae.3ds....).

If you can send me the file, i could look into it, because it??s really hard to figure out, what went wrong =)

How do i send it? coastercrazy doesn't allow me to send a compressed .rar or the .dae itself :s

Checking to see if I can add .rar to the allowed file list. zip works at the moment I think...

Just checked and .rar is allowed. Although, the max file size allowed is up to 10mb. If it is bigger, may I suggest sticking in a zip file and uploading it to the scrapyard and then sending me a private message when you wish me to remove it from there?

I transferred it into a zip file and posted it into the scrapyard

It works perfectly .. but .. i need a coaster style and where should the object attach? =)

It is for the gerstlauer eurofighter for the front of the car

Thank you! Okay,... give me some minutes.

You??ve sent me only the .dae but it??s ok The script need to be attached at the script tab in the NL2SCO Editor. I??ll attach it, so you can see how this works.

And here it is:

I??ve put the sketchup file in as well,.. so you see which direction the object has to be (green line) and where the pivot (..) has to be.

That is so cool, thank you very much, I'll implement it in my own park. If i still can't figure it out i will ask you again.

Thank you

Does anyone know if it is possible to attach an object to the zero car from a coastertrain?
