what exactly are slot types?

ThreeDTech21 · Nov 10, 2014

I have opened the hatch_hood.jbeam to study the code, I see slotType in the code, what is exactly is a slotType and what does it do for the game?

Defines which part slot it fits in. Take for example any engine part for the pickup, has slottype pickup_engine. Somewhere in the pickup jbeam there is a line which defines that the pickup has the pickup_engine slot for the engines to go into from the parts selector.

Type is what it is, engine, front suspension, rear suspension etcetera.
Default is the part it spawns with, (if you make more parts you can select them from the CTRL+W menu)

If I want more different front axles I'd have to put "helljeep_frontaxle" the the front axle's "slotType", and for the part name (the green one on the top right) I can just call it whatever I want.

["component name","where do i want to spawn with","What should the component be named in the CTRL+W menu"],

And yes, you can put beams from one jbeam to another, I always put the beams that interconnect on the part I add to the vehicle

Lets say i have a 4 beam suspension that attaches my axle to the chassis, I will put the 4 beams in the axle jbeam.
