For Asset Creators: How to create custom pillars
  • Install Mod Tools
  • Open the Asset Editor (New Asset)
  • Press F7 and run this script with the command line[gist.githubusercontent.com]
  • Select "Building" and search for the Railway Elevated Pillar template in the Public Transport Tab. The special thing about this template is that the AI of the pillar is passive (no visitors, no "No Road Access" warnings, no crime etc.). You can also use it for other decorative assets.
  • Now import your model as usual and save it

To test your asset locally:
  • Open your local "Assets" folder.
  • Create a new subfolder and move the .crp into that folder
  • Create a new empty text file named "Pillar.xml" and put it into the folder
  • Start a new city. You will see your pillar in the list

To publish your asset:
  • Click the "Publish" button in Content Manager
  • Click on the little folder icon to open the folder that contains your preview image
  • Open the "Content" subfolder that contains your .crp
  • Create a new empty text file named "Pillar.xml" and put it into the folder
  • Publish your pillar. Don't forget to add my mod as a dependency.

It is important that the .xml file is in the same folder as the .crp file!

I have only one question, do these need any specific height/pivot?

The default rail pillar is about 30m high. In one of the next versions of the mod, you will be able to control the height offset of the pillars

So this only works for Railways at the moment? I will try it out soon!

Oh and any idea what the intervals between pillars are?

It's not working for me. I succeeded in saving and everything but it's not showing up in the list. BTW, in the description it says; only opens when using.. something. But it's open/showing all the time

As the script is short, why link to a website with that single line as text?

PrefabCollection<BuildingInfo>.FindLoaded("RailwayElevatedPillar").m_AssetEditorTemplate = true;

@Tim It works for all elevated networks (but not "water" bridges). It should only show up when you open the roads menu (or when you place rail tracks/pedestrian paths).

Maybe the file name of the XML is wrong? Did you use the Elevated rail pillar template?

Post a screenshot of your pillar in the asset editor and a screenshot of the folder that contains crp and xml in windows explorer.

Well false alarm, I was indeed missing FineRoadHeights. I might publish my pillars this weekend.

Funny, the window only shows up if I have FineRoadHeights subscribed but disabled. If enabled it doesn't show up

FineRoads shouldn't be needed as far as I can tell.
