Hey everyone, just wanted to take a second to make this guide to show how to make this element possible.
This information cam straight from 'Slalom', and i don't not take responsibility for the technique used, just made a visual guide.
You can find the link to his creation here. https://nolimitscentral.com/exchange/park/104
So I had the Standard Edition of NoLimits2 and used it for a while. After some time of computer problems, the hard drive failed. I had backed up the computer recently, so i still had the installer of NL2. I used it and realized that I needed to have the user id and such. I tried to email support and haven't gotten anything back yet. If there is anything i can do, please tell! Thank you all and have a great day!

I took my Round Up 150 entry, The Wild Legend a GCI inspired Wood coaster design for Lagoon's Pioneer Village in Utah and I turned it into Iron Justice, an RMC Hybrid. I hope you enjoy!

@Polycoasters : MarlCoaster8 had another question so i sended him my answer via YT
Sorry i can't help u with those trains u asking for.
Hey, I'm also looking for the Sky Rocket Trains! Would you be able to send me those too? Idk where the YT private messages are, so you could contact me on Instagram @ "Polycoasters", via Twitter under "XoomXoom_", via Discord "Polycoasters#9256" and via Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/user/Xoom_Xoom)... 100 Thanks in advance
Is there a way that I'm not seeing to use topper track on the new hybrid RMC style coaster, or do we still need to use a method such as the one theCodemaster released?
And as far as I know, it's not possible to change files (for the export function).
Well, the Code you'd want to add into the trigger function would be:
train.getHarnessState();
the Problem is that onTrainEntering() and onTrainLeaving() both are only called on the exact frame the Train hits the Trigger, so they're called only once.
The Harnessvalue is a continuous one laying between 0 (fully open) and 1 (fully closed).
so a way to go is to execute a self-set function when the Tracktrigger is hit.
like:
import com.nolimitscoaster.*;
class TestScript extends Script implements TrackTriggerListener {
Coaster coaster;
Section section;
float HarnessState;
TrackTrigger trackTrigger;
TrackTrigger trackTrigger2;
TrackTrigger trackTrigger3;
TrackTrigger trackTrigger4;
TrackTrigger trackTrigger5;
bool myFunctionStart = false;
Train myFunctionTrain;
//List off track triggers and listeners
bool onInit() {
coaster = sim.getCoasterForEntityId(getParentEntityId());
HarnessState = sim.getHarnessState();
trackTrigger = coaster.getTrackTrigger("StationClear");
trackTrigger2 = coaster.getTrackTrigger("BBlockOccupied");
trackTrigger3 = coaster.getTrackTrigger("LiftClear");
trackTrigger4 = coaster.getTrackTrigger("CBlockOccupied");
trackTrigger5 = coaster.getTrackTrigger("BBlockClear");
trackTrigger.addTrackTriggerListener(this);
trackTrigger2.addTrackTriggerListener(this);
trackTrigger3.addTrackTriggerListener(this);
trackTrigger4.addTrackTriggerListener(this);
trackTrigger5.addTrackTriggerListener(this);
return true;
}
public void onNextFrame(float tick)
{
if(myFunctionStart)
{
HarnessState = myFunctionTrain.getHarnessState();
System.out.println(HarnessState );
}
}
//The comments setting output are going to be used for the same
//thing I'm trying to do with the harnesses but I haven't gotten
//to implement that either. I'm having more problems with the
//harnesses so I'm trying to fix that first.
public void onTrainEntering(TrackTrigger trigger, Train train) {
if (trigger == trackTrigger2) {
System.err.println("B Block Occupied");
myFunctionTrain = train;
myFunctionStart = true;
//int output = 1;
//System.err.println(output);
}
if (trigger == trackTrigger) {
System.err.println("Station Clear");
harnessState = sim.getHarnessState();
System.err.println(harnessState);
}
if (trigger == trackTrigger4) {
System.err.println("C Block Occupied");
}
}
//Same thing here for the output
public void onTrainLeaving(TrackTrigger trigger, Train train) {
if (trigger == trackTrigger2) {
myFunctionTrain = train;
myFunctionStart = false;
}
if (trigger == trackTrigger3) {
System.err.println("Lift Clear");
}
if (trigger == trackTrigger5) {
System.err.println("B Block Clear");
//int output = 0;
//System.err.println(output);
}
}
}
Now you need to reset your bool variable myFunctionStart, otherwise it'll jam your message window all the time.
In this Case doing it with leaving the same Trigger will do the trick.
This already should work for you now
Greg, u might download this park from Bestdani. And look into these scripts from his custom harness.
I'm getting better but still new and trying to to do the following:
I found the getharnessstate command but I can't get it to work while exporting the response i can't even figure out if there's a command for that at all. Here's what I have so far, what do you think I'm doing wrong?
import com.nolimitscoaster.*;
class TestScript extends Script implements TrackTriggerListener {
Coaster coaster;
Section section;
float HarnessState;
TrackTrigger trackTrigger;
TrackTrigger trackTrigger2;
TrackTrigger trackTrigger3;
TrackTrigger trackTrigger4;
TrackTrigger trackTrigger5;
//List off track triggers and listeners
bool onInit() {
coaster = sim.getCoasterForEntityId(getParentEntityId());
HarnessState = sim.getHarnessState();
trackTrigger = coaster.getTrackTrigger("StationClear");
trackTrigger2 = coaster.getTrackTrigger("BBlockOccupied");
trackTrigger3 = coaster.getTrackTrigger("LiftClear");
trackTrigger4 = coaster.getTrackTrigger("CBlockOccupied");
trackTrigger5 = coaster.getTrackTrigger("BBlockClear");
trackTrigger.addTrackTriggerListener(this);
trackTrigger2.addTrackTriggerListener(this);
trackTrigger3.addTrackTriggerListener(this);
trackTrigger4.addTrackTriggerListener(this);
trackTrigger5.addTrackTriggerListener(this);
return true;
}
//The comments setting output are going to be used for the same
//thing I'm trying to do with the harnesses but I haven't gotten
//to implement that either. I'm having more problems with the
//harnesses so I'm trying to fix that first.
public void onTrainEntering(TrackTrigger trigger, Train train) {
if (trigger == trackTrigger2) {
System.err.println("B Block Occupied");
//int output = 1;
//System.err.println(output);
}
if (trigger == trackTrigger) {
System.err.println("Station Clear");
harnessState = sim.getHarnessState();
System.err.println(harnessState);
}
if (trigger == trackTrigger4) {
System.err.println("C Block Occupied");
}
}
//Same thing here for the output
public void onTrainLeaving(TrackTrigger trigger, Train train) {
if (trigger == trackTrigger3) {
System.err.println("Lift Clear");
}
if (trigger == trackTrigger5) {
System.err.println("B Block Clear");
//int output = 0;
//System.err.println(output);
}
}
}

Does anyone have or know of a way to achieve something like Mavericks water cannons?
U can use Bestdani's Fountain :

This is awesome! Thanks for doing this.
What an incredible project! I can't wait to see the final result!
should my thead be added by any chance?? it is a resource so i figure it might be useful to put it here, but perhaps the whole thing should be finished before that happens
So, the station, brakes, and lift setup: the one thing every coaster has. In this first step, I’m gonna teach you everything you need to know about taking this first step in creating your new GCI!
For the first step, we need to actually create our coaster. So that the station gates released later in this tutorial will work, please name your coaster “GCI” and create your station out of this coaster. Before placing any nodes, set the custom heartline to 0.85m or about 2.65ft, the friction to NL 2 (Not NL 2.2), and the coaster style to wooden trailered 2-seat.
Depending on the size of your coaster, the train length and block lengths will differ. If you have a 12-car train, your station block should be 57.75ft or 17.6m. If you have a 6-car train, your station block should be about 33.75ft or 10.3m. These lengths will also carry over to your transfer track. To check your station block length, select the station and look in the bottom left hand corner, it should clearly display your block length. Your station should be no more than 15-20ft off the ground, or 4.5-6m for my metric friends. Place 4 nodes, 2 loose and 2 strict in the middle, and space your station apart and place it where you want it until you get something that looks like the picture below.
After this, go to the side view of your station platform and give it a slight decline. Nothing super crazy, just a few degrees will do. This is so that the train can coast out of the station.
After you’ve done that, it’s time to place our transfer table. I recommend looking up a few basic station setups for a GCI coaster, as there are plenty of ways you can place the transfer and the lift relative to the station. For mine, I decided to go with a setup similar to Prowler at Worlds of Fun, with the transfer track just a short bit away from the station. Your transfer block should be the same length as the station.
For comparison, the transfer blocks on Tornado look like this:
After this, input these settings into both the station and transfer blocks. Put your game into the metric system for a hot second just to get this done. Assign Train 1 to the station block and Train 2 to the transfer block. Never have a train start on the lift or on the final brake run.
For coloring the ride, this is the color I use for the wood on the ride.
After that, freeze it up, and pat yourself on the back, because you’ve just created a GCI station block. I'm sorry I couldn't do more - these take a little while to make and going as in-depth as I am will take some time to fully cover everything GCI. Stay tuned in the coming days because the next post will be all about prelifts, lift blocks, and lift crests. The post after that will be drop shaping and hill shaping.
Thanks everyone, cheers!!
I’m intrigued by this and can’t wait to see it!
WOW! That looks insanly good! Keep up the awesome work!
This sounds awesome! Can't wait.
