road_instance

v1.4.8

Builds a road, or a river, along a path from one entity. The only copy is the prefab road_instance. No scene places it.

Find placed ones in the Scene panel with s:road_instance. See Filter.

Where you put it

Add the script to an empty entity, or drop the prefab road_instance from Modules\Native\Prefabs\scene_prop_prefabs.xml. Path Name is the path it follows.

What you set

Native panel. The prefab stores this order.

Panel field	What to do with it
Path Name	Path to follow. The prefab stores Test.
River Mod	On: treat the path as water. The prefab stores off.
Mesh Mod	On: place the three mesh variations instead of a tiled road material. The prefab stores off.
Road Material Name	Road material. The prefab stores road_tool_brick_road.
Road Max Turn Angle	Sharpest corner, in degrees. The prefab stores 30.
Road Texture Tile	How often the road texture repeats. The prefab stores 1.
Road Tesselation Distance Threshold	Point spacing along the path. The prefab stores 3.
Align Road to Terrain	Drop the road onto the terrain. The prefab stores off.
Road Elevation Offset From Terrain	Extra height when the road is aligned. The prefab stores 0.
Align Terrain to Road	Lift the terrain up to the road. The prefab stores off.
River Water Density	Used when River Mod is on. The prefab stores 0.5.
River Water Foam Amount	Used when River Mod is on. The prefab stores 0.5.
Road Mesh Variation 1	First mesh, used when Mesh Mod is on. The prefab stores empty.
Road Mesh Variation 2	Second mesh. The prefab stores empty.
Road Mesh Variation 3	Third mesh. The prefab stores empty.
Mesh 1 Local Rotation	Yaw for variation 1, in degrees. The prefab stores 0.
Mesh 2 Local Rotation	Yaw for variation 2. The prefab stores 0.
Mesh 3 Local Rotation	Yaw for variation 3. The prefab stores 0.
Mesh Random Variation Seed	Seed for which mesh is picked. The prefab stores 0.

What it does

With River Mod and Mesh Mod off, it tiles Road Material Name along Path Name. River Mod uses the density and foam fields. Mesh Mod scatters the three mesh variations. The generated mesh is tagged road_mesh.

Where it lives

Native script. Prefab: Modules\Native\Prefabs\scene_prop_prefabs.xml, entity road_instance. No scene.xscene stores it.

Examples

Brick test path. Prefab road_instance. Path Name Test, material road_tool_brick_road, max turn 30, tile 1, tessellation 3. River mode, mesh mode, and both align flags are off.
