Hi All!

This is my first full-length script, and i hope that it will prove useful.

Best regards.

Additional Info: 

Update 03-11-2010
Now script warns of the error.

Quickstart:

1. Select the desired objects and click on "Get Cars To Array"
Note! These objects should be solid.

2. Select the desired path and click on "Spread Cars"
Note! In addition to the flow of moving objects the script also adds a layer
into the layer manager for easy selection of the flow.

3. To change any settings, select the flow in the layer manager,
enter the desired value, and click the "Reset Cars"

Note! Script warns of the error, but if some actions returns error
i recommend to restart Simple_Traffic.ms.

FP Rand - Random positioning value within the distance between objects in parallel to the flow (in percentage).

WP Rand - Random position value perpendicular to the flow.

4. To replace objects in the flow matrix, select desired objects, press on "Get Cars To Array" then select traffic and press on "Reset Cars"

Flip Follow - Changes the direction of the flow to opposite.

Flip Cars – Reverses the objects in the flow on 180 degrees.

Speed control.

How can we calculate the speed of the cars in miles or kilometers?

Can you tell how to animate the wheels?

I like this script, since at my work I had to make lots of traffic animations which would have been really easy using this! I only miss one thing: will there be an update with I can easily make a generated traffic's animation looped? (I know there is a frame number where it's actually looped, but it'd be awesome if at least the script would tell where it does.)

great script!
but you should show in the video at the end how it works with all options on, let it show for 5seconds

you move the mouse around so much, its very hard to see the end result :)

but it seems to work great!
