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.

Hi there, great script, but

Hi there,

great script, but is there a way how I could easily make it compatible with grouped objects?
For example: I need headlights attached to my cars and to get them to move with the cars, I need to either link them to the mesh or group them, but neither of these options work with your script...:(
