STISIM Drive (SDL) - SOBJ – Static Object
This event allows you to
display a "Static Object" in the roadway display scene. Static
objects are model files that can be placed in the scene. Currently supported model
formats are the Flight Format (.flt) from Multigen, and the 3D Studio .3ds
format. This option is a catch all that allows you to create your own static
objects such as street signs and display them in the roadway scene. The models
that are displayed can not move from their current position (hence the word
"static"). In the Data subdirectory there are several subdirectories
that contain models that you can use, or you can create the models yourself. We
recommend that you look through the various subdirectories that are in the
STISIM Drive Data directory. Most of the files have descriptive names so you
should be able to figure most of them out.
EVENT PARAMETERS:
|
PARAMETER 1: |
The longitudinal distance, in feet, that the static object is away from the driver when it first appears. |
|
PARAMETER 2: |
Lateral position, in feet, from the roadway’s dividing line to bottom left corner of the static object. |
|
PARAMETER 3: |
Height, in feet, from the roadway’s dividing line to origin of the static object model. |
|
PARAMETER 4: |
Rotation angle, in degrees, of the static object about its vertical axis. This allows the static object to be rotated in the display, so it can be positioned correctly. |
|
PARAMETER 5: |
Rotation angle, in degrees, of the static object about its pitch axis. This allows the static object to be rotated in the display, so it can be positioned correctly. |
|
PARAMETER 6: |
Rotation angle, in degrees, of the static object about its roll axis. This allows the static object to be rotated in the display, so it can be positioned correctly. |
|
PARAMETER 7: |
File name of the model file defining the static object. This is the complete file name, including the path. |
EXAMPLES:
1450,SOBJ,1000,-15,0,180,0,0,Data\Signs\Rcurve.3ds
The above event will put a
right curve sign (the model Rcurve.3ds) in the display scene 2450 feet from the
start of the scenario. The sign will be visible after the driver has driven
1450 feet, and is located 15 feet to the left of the roadway center line. The
model is placed at ground level. The model is also rotated 180 degrees about
its vertical axis.
