Guest kparsons34 Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Can anyone help me with adding traffic lights into the freeplay map. how can I add some traffic lights onto the map so vehicles will stop in front of the fire station? I cant seem to get the lights to work or the cars to stop. Any help would be awesome.Kenneth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumper42 Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 ok what you need to do is1.place your lights(i know i know duh?)2.(going in a clockwise motion) click light properties of the first light3.name that light 1_1_1 the first 1 is the light set(all 4 or 3 or however many you have) the second 1 is the order in a clock wise motion, and the third is when it will operate.4. so what you should have is this1_1_1-light 11_2_2-light 21_3_3-light 31_4_4-light 4this is if you want them all to work seperatly, if you want east/west to go at the same time and N/Sthen it will look like this1_1_11_2_21_3_11_4_2see what i mean5.next you need to go to virtual objects6.don't change anything just pick add7.now make a box prior to the light about 2 cars long x the width of the road(very important make sure nothing is in the box ie:traffic light, parked cars-has to be empty)8.name that virtual object traffic_1_19.then work your way aroundtraffic_1_2traffic_1_3traffic_1_410.then start over with the next light set2_1_12_2_22_3_12_4_2etcsounds like a lot but just play with it takes a bit of work, just remember nothing in the box.another little tip is the more cars you can fit in the box length ways the longer the light will be. ie:4 cars in the box-4 cars go through,1 car in bx in car through etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xplorer4x4 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I think you have to increae the length of the virtual object in front of the light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xplorer4x4 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Edit: the rule of 3 cars in the VO means 3 cars will go through doesnt seem to accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Side note: Shouldnt this be under modeling, not tech help?On topic: Does it have to be 4 lights to an intersection? Can we do 3? I tried but some how I always have one light stuck on green but yet cars wont go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Now that this is in the correct forum, I am asking for help one more time. Has any one managed to get 2 traffic lights to work at one time? Followed the guide but doesnt work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
