Trainz Scriptz Pt 1: Exploring the "controls.gs" script of the NYCTA R46 Subway Car
This is a new series a decided to make because there aren't a lot of tutorials on how to script assets in Trainz, so I'm going to be picking apart various scripts in order to figure out how they work. I'm gonna start with the "controls.gs" script on the NYCTA R46 Subway Car because I need to figure out how to make replaceable textures for my American Bullet Train in order to make them more efficient.
In later installments of this series, I wanna figure out how railroad crossings (atls & trc), traffic lights, clocks and even a scripted lighthouse works.
