Armored Train [Halloween Update] 1.7.0

After this new update , a player has told me after looting all the crates the event end timer started and it was 35 minutes instead of our regular 90 seconds. Not sure how to fix this problem. Does anyone else experience this?

Hello,
I have the same problem with these settings:

Quote

"Minimum time between events [sec]": 1800
"Maximum time between events [sec]": 1800
"Time to destroy the train after opening all the crates [sec]": 300
"Event time": 1800

What is the lever for on the back of the engine And is there a way to get the fuel out of the tanker?

The lever is the default method to stop the train from moving. A player has to approach it and pull it.
Optionally you can also enable killing of the driver to stop the train, as well as define the drivers HP + clothing / armor fit in the drivers presets section.
It is not possible to take fuel from these trains.

In theory if you set the below to true:
 "Allow wagons to be connected to the train [true/false]": true,

If you run a PvP server or allow damage to trains on a PvE server, a player could possibly destroy the locomotive from Armored train and use another
Locomotive to attach to the fuel wagons that you have in your train wagon presets, then drive the fuel wagons to the train yard to unload.

I have not tested this myself and don't think it will work, as that would stop the event.




Anyhow, for example if you wanted to make a Fuel train preset that spawns randomly and mostly load it with a series of Fuel wagons it would be something like this:

"Train presets": [
    {
      "Preset Name": "train_fuel",
      "Train Name": "Fuel Train",
      "Event time": 2700,
      "Train can be spawned underground [true/false]": false,
      "Allow automatic startup? [true/false]": true,
      "Probability of a preset [0.0-100.0]": 40.0,
      "Locomotive Preset": "locomotive_default",
      "Order of wagons": [
        "wagon_unloadable_fuel",
        "wagon_unloadable_fuel",
       "wagon_unloadable_fuel",
       "wagon_unloadable_fuel",
       "wagon_unloadable_fuel"
      ],
      "Heli preset": "",
      "Train Stop time": 120
    },

Then make a custom wagon preset in the which in this case is just an unload-able fuel tank wagon with nothing else on it (like below) and add as many as you like to the train preset above. (in this example I added 5 fuel wagons)

 "Wagon presets": [
 {
      "Preset name": "wagon_unloadable_fuel",
      "Prefab name": "assets/content/vehicles/trains/wagons/trainwagonunloadablefuel.entity.prefab",
      "Bradley preset - locations": {},
      "Turret preset - locations": {},
      "SamSite preset - locations": {},
      "NPC preset - locations": {},
      "Crate preset - locations": {},
      "Decorative prefab - locations": {}
    },


Hope that helps

I have the same problem with these settings:

I haven't noticed these issues on our server over the last month.
Are you still having problems with the times?
Please carefully check through your config and make sure it is updated.

Hi,
I just deleted the config and reloaded the plugin and now everything works.

hello,
is there a way to configure the plugin so that there are several trains at the same time?
thx.

Hi, i just added your plugin to our server.

While setting it up, i had a bit trouble to get it running. For what ever reason it could not find any tracks. (seed: 262599322, size: 5000)

So i decided to use custom spawn points.

This has one huge disadvantage. The plugin will somehow not know if the spawn point is underground or not.

Is there any chance that we can mark spawn points at being in the subway?

Otherwise i cant use Helis OR underground spawn points, because it will spawn and fly somewhere under terrain in those situations.

This means also under ocean surface in the water.

Suggestion,

"Allow the non-owner of the event to enter the event zone? [true/false]": false,

add config option to allow ADMIN (auth level 1 & 2) in to event event zone when locked to player/team

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you can but you must configure Zone Manager and edit 'canbypass' flags in permissions to do that, outside of this plugin.

i think its suggestion must be in PveMode discussion

where ever it needs to be .. its a ArmoredTrain suggestions, correct Me if I am wrong, is this not ArmoredTrain Support/discussion?

I have 2 of your mods Convoy and Armored train, have you ever thought about doing primitive versions of these mods?  like on convoy doing horse and wagons with the tank being replaced with a war wagon that uses turrets loaded with xbows?  and on the train use old time trains or workcarts?  this cold be 2 more mods you could sell.

Theoretically, I can)

that would be awesome! same as convoy please. NPC standing there are sitting ducks. if they can chase attackers with similar options to Convoy that would be perfect.

Cool idea! I'll start making a horse convoy right now! Thanks!

Take a screenshot of this message. When I release this plugin, send it to me and you will get the plugin for free)

EDIT:  sorry, This was intended to be posted on Convoy discussion.
But it would be nice to be on Armored Train too.


@Adem  Suggestion / Request:  Will it be possible in the future to change map-marker colours for individual  Armored Train &  Convoy presets?
So there would be a Marker setting for each preset.

We have many difficulty presets and I think using map marker colours will help our players more quickly recognize the difficulty.

Maybe Hex codes would be easier to implement?
I would use these for our set up, for example.

"Easy": "00FF00",  Green
"Medium": "FFEB04",  Yellow
"Hard": "FF0000",  Red
"Expert": "0000FF",  Blue
 "Nightmare": "000000"  Black

Thanks for your consideration

29.99 is the sale price?

Not sure if I configured this right but when the train stops, the soldiers just stand in place. Any chance of getting them to be more like Convoy where they attack and move instead of swallow bullets and drop?

With Convoy they charge you, lobbing grenades and firing but not happening with Armored Train. Possible to see this in an update?

attach a copy of your config .json file and some one can take a look.

I can answer one part of your question which is, I don't believe the NPC's can move as they must be parented to the train. They can turn, fire, reload, switch weapons etc and are usually pretty lethal with the right equipment. Attack distance and other NPC settings within this plugin can affect their behaviour somewhat.
