Doors not showing in the game.

Hello, everyone. I'm trying to create simple models that include more than one part. But I'm stuck at a point. Even if I tried all possible ways, I couldn't make it to get doors shown up in the game. Can you help me to figure this problem out? I will upload the zip file if you want to check it. I appreciate any help you can provide.

 

The body is the main part, so you should write the following code to body_jbeam.jbeam file:

Code:

"body_jbeam":{ /*this is the part name*/
   "information":{
       "authors":"your name",
       "name":"body",  /*here is the name for parts selector*/     
    }
"slotType" : "main", -- this means that the 'body_jbeam' part is the root (or parent) for all other parts
"slots": [
   ["type", "default", "description"],
   ["the_doors" /*slot name*/,  "door_jbeam" /*default part name*/, "The Doors /*this the slot name that you see in the part selection menu*/"]
],

Everything between /* and */ comments out. // comments out just one line

In the door_jbeam.jbeam file:

Code:

"door_jbeam":{
   "information":{
       "authors":"your name",
       "name":"Doors 1" /*this part name appears in the parts selector*/}
  },

"slotType" : "the_doors",
//for example, you can add a slot for a handle:
"slots": [
   ["type", "default", "description"],
   ["handle",  "door_handle_1", "Door Handle"]
],

 

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it!

 

I followed all the steps, but nothing changed

 

Issue #1: incomplete file structure.
Your mod should look like this: modName.zip > vehicles > vehicleName > all the files (jbeam, dae, json etc)

Issue #2: syntax
54th line of your code contains an error: {"group":"body_","door_"},
It should look like this instead: {"group":["body_","door_"]},
Square parentheses create a list of something. In this case, the elements "body_" and "door_"
Btw, if your car has issues, there will be error messages in the console.

Issue #3: wrong refNodes
The refNodes orientation you've chosen is facing backwards. That's why the vehicle turns 180 degrees when resetting.

I fixed these issues and uploaded a zip file. Ask me if you need more help

 

I'm sorry for bothering you. Thank you very much for your valuable help!
