Pantograph

[Motley]

Whats the key word for pantograph in openrails. i can make it move in outside front camera but it wont move in cab camera when im using 3d cab

[Motley]

Im trying to use pantograph command to slide open my cab windows and it works when outside view but wont open in 3dcab view

Controls and animations designed for an exterior model, may not translate to working in the 3D cab view and vice versa.

Are you using a pantograph to operate window animations as a work around?

In case you were not aware, Carlo has added more functionality for animated windows and doors in ORNYMG and Unstable versions of OR in June 2023.

This thread has all the details.

And this thread has a list of cab view animations and controls.

Hope this helps.

I got it to work with the outside view but not the 3dcab view. Outside view i used LEFTWINDOWFRONT and RIGHTWINDOWFRONT and it work. 3dcab view i tried ORTS_EXTERNALLEFTWINDOWFRONT and ORTS_EXTERNALRIGHTWINDOWFRONT, EXTERNALLEFTWINDOWFRONT and EXTERNALRIGHTWINDOWFRONT,
EXTERNALRIGHTWINDOWFRONT:0:0 and EXTERNALLEFTWINDOWFRONT:0:0, LEFTWINDOWFRONT and RIGHTWINDOWFRONT, LEFTWINDOWFRONT:0:0 and RIGHTWINDOWFRONT:0:0. I tried different number of keyframes even redo the window and still nothing.Is there something else that im not getting.

What version of Open Rails are you using?

[Motley]

OpenRails NewYear MG ORNYMG-Rev,146(debug). It shows the command but wont open. OpenRails T1.5.1-569-g8f17be306 doesnt show the command. And Blender 3.6, Would it be possible for you to write down each step from naming it to exporting and if there something to add in the CVF file what it is because im totally lost and didnt had this problem with doors. I tried to download Brush Falcon Diesel Locomotive (UK) with 3d cab by mrmosky in Elvas tower to see how they wrote it and i cant download it i get an error even when im log in,

If you can export working doors, you already know each step from naming to exporting.

Brush Falcon uses MIRRORS:0:0 for window animation.

I have never used any WINDOW:x:y objects in my models but I will test and report back. Please be patient as I don't have a lot of free time to look into this just at the moment.

It works when I use MIRRORS:0:0 for window animation. What would the word be for windows with ********:0:0.

I have tested with ORNYMG Rev146 and Unstable version U2023.09.10-0052 and the Window animations do not work for me either.

I have posted my findings in http://www.elvastower.com/forums/ind...s/page__st__30 to bring to the attention of developers.

Apologies to all. It appears I have been miss-spelling the object names in my testing.

ORTS_EXTERNALLEFTWINDOWFRONT:0 and ORTS_EXTERNALRIGHTWINDOWFRONT:0 both work in Rev146 and latest unstable versions of OR.
