Official FVD (Force Vector Design) Thread
NoLimits Coaster

Hello -

I’m looking to get into FVD and I have a few questions:

  1. Is there a way to zero out the track? I’ve been having issues with making the track level out after a helix, even after setting the roll back to zero.

  2. Is there a way to smooth out transitions? The ones I’ve been messing around with have just come out rough for whatever reason.

Thanks

Golden Heights Contest - Chapter 2
Contests

Hi guys!
This is the time of the year where you're feeling sick, you're annoyed, don't know what to do, it is cold and dark outside... Well, those symptoms could only wise into one direction: the off-season.
Well, let's organise a contest, that is the best cure against the off-season disease.

Yes, a contest
(Track Tennis is near its end and the Roundup 250 winners are announced tomorrow)

Golden Heights Contest

I want to welcome you to Golden Heights park. A park famous for his mountain setting. The park is relatively small, but there are already two coasters, made by the well-known manufacturer Ward-Rides. The park is wanting to install a third coaster, but unfortunately, Ward-Rides ran bankrupt. So now the managers of the park are looking for you to design the third coaster.

As described above, the park is in a mountain setting, so it isn't that simple to create a coaster. Plus, the managers want you to build a coaster along and above the entrance road. They sent us (me and Ward) a virtual map last week with the boundaries of their property. Now they're asking us to search for some designers and that's where we need you!!!

Ward is your main judge, and I'll review all the entries too. Some rules made by us:

  • You can hand in as many entries as you like, but they must be a different coaster style. So, the maximum of entries is near the 40 I guess. :)
  • The managers of the park asked us to let you design the coaster on BOTH sides of the road, so you'll have to pass the road at least two times.
  • We won't disqualify people, if you're doing something wrong, it only means you'll get less points for that aspect. So, every entry will have a full review.
  • Timing: the contest will start somewhere this Sunday. Entries must be submitted before 2019 (You can choose which time zone XD). The winner will be announced around mid-February. Later this week, we'll post some more rules and will reveal the building area.

Greetings from Belgium and Holland, Pifpoefpaf123 and Ward

The Official Scripting Ask Thread
Scripting

I'm working on a proof-of-concept for a trackless darkride which works like this:

I have 3 little cube objects called BP-1, BP-2 etc. in sequence (BP meaning BlockPoint). The script should gather all the BPs and create objects for them. Then it should calculate the path between them, and create an object for the RS (RideSection) with the beginning BP and ending BP. The last BP connects with the first BP.

This is working as expected, except I want to output the results for all the RideSections. I get a NullPointerException when I want to access .getBegin() on a RideSection instance. I'm not really sure why at this point.

Thanks in advance for your help :)
