NPC HLC traffic modification

[rain_gloom]

What part should I change if I want only a few vehicles to achieve the following?

• only 1-20 vehicles, but those are always "streamed", so they are always moving and are never destroyed (at least not for coding purposes)
  get (random) positions on the road
  add vehicles explicitly
  engage/disengage into/from traffic

it's kind of a huge resource, so I have no idea where should I begin...

thx in adv

Traffic is created and destroyed in generate.lua file, spawnTrafficInSquare and despawnTrafficInSquare functions.

As for positions on road, you can look at load_paths.lua to see where the data is stored. conn_n1[connection_id] and conn_n2[connection_id] are the nodes where connection starts and ends and if it is bent around a node, that node is stored in conn_nb table.

The last thing you want to do, linking/unlinking the vehicles to/from traffic, is not something what this resource was designed for. Maybe you could achieve this if you did the same what is done on creation/removal of vehicles, minus the createVehicle/destroyElement calls (using already existing vehicle instead), but the resource itself is not well-designed overall because I was after speed, not flexibility when I was making it.
